These  connections  make  for  higher  quality  playback  sound  with  no 
interference between the signals of the bass and treble units.
When making a bi-amp connection, the same signal is output from the 
front speaker terminal and the “Bi-Wir. or Bi-Amp“ terminal.
NOTE
Use speakers compatible with bi-amp connections.
When  making  bi-amp  connections,  be  sure  to  remove  the  short-
circuiting plate or wire between the speaker’s woofer and tweeter 
terminals.
