5.1-channel playback (bi-amp connection of front speaker)
This system plays back 5.1-channels. You can use the bi-amp connection for front speakers. Bi-amp connection is a method to connect separate amplifiers to the tweeter terminal and woofer terminal of a speaker that supports bi-amplification. 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.
![Pict AmpAssign 5.1 BiAmp](fig/Pict AmpAssign 5.1 BiAmp_OBAOILqzqigdqw.png)
Set “Assign Mode” to “Bi-Amp” in the menu. link
When making bi-amp connections, be sure to remove the short-circuiting plate or wire between the speaker’s woofer and tweeter terminals.
