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”link settings to suit the application, such as 7.1-channel systems, bi-amp connections and 2-channel systems for multi-zone playback.

Perform “Amp Assign” settings to suit the number of rooms and speaker configuration to be installed. 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.
