Speaker configuration and “Amp Assign” settings

This unit has a built-in 7-channel power amplifier. In addition to the basic 5.1-channel system, a variety of speaker systems can be configured by changing the “Amp Assign” settings to suit the application, such as 7.1-channel systems, bi-amp connections and 2-channel systems for multi-zone playback. link

Applied configuration and connection

5.1-channel (bi-amp connection of front speaker)

This is a method of connecting separate amplifiers to the tweeter terminals and woofer terminals of bi-amp compatible speakers. This connection enables back EMF (power returned without being output) from the woofer to flow into the tweeter without affecting the sound quality, producing a higher sound quality.

NOTE

When making bi-amp connections, be sure to remove the short-circuiting plate or wire between the speaker’s woofer and tweeter terminals.

5.1-channel + front speaker of second unit

This system enables switching playback between front speakers A and B as desired.

Connecting an external power amplifier

You can use this unit as a pre-amp by connecting an external power amplifier to the PRE OUT connectors. By adding a power amplifier to each channel, the realness of the sound can be further enhanced.

Select the terminal to use and connect the device.

Conne PRE OUT 5010U

When using just one surround back speaker, connect it to the left channel (L) terminal.
