Connecting 13.1-channel speakers : Bi-amp connection of front speakers

This system plays back 13.1-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 SP Layout 13.1 BiAmp

NOTE

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

The PRE OUT connectors for a bi-amp connection vary depending on the MAIN ZONE layout. Refer to “Amp Assign” - “Bi-Amp”. link

The height speakers, ceiling speakers and Dolby Atmos Enabled speakers can be connected to the HEIGHT1, HEIGHT2 and HEIGHT3 RCA connectors or HEIGHT1, HEIGHT2 and HEIGHT3 XLR connectors. Set the speaker to be connected from “Height” in the menu. link
