Bridging the Front Speakers
The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK/ZONE 3 L/R terminal
posts can be used with front speakers and surround back speak-
ers respectively, or bridged together to provide almost double
the output power for the front speakers.
• When bridging is used, surround back speakers cannot be
used.
• For bridging, the positive (+) FRONT L/R and SURR
BACK/ZONE 3 L/R terminal posts are used, but the negative
(–) FRONT L/R and SURR BACK/ZONE 3 L/R terminals
are not.
• Once you’ve completed the bridging connections shown below
and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the
“Speakers Type(Front)” setting to “BTL” to enable bridging
(➔ 54).
Note
• Use only front speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms or higher for bridging. Failure to do so may seriously damage the AV
receiver.
• When using bridging, make sure that your front speakers can handle the additional power.
Connecting the Passive Subwoofers
The FRONT WIDE/ZONE 2 L/R terminal posts can be
used with front wide speakers or passive subwoofers.
• Once you’ve connected the passive subwoofers and
turned on the AV receiver, you must set the “Passive
Subwoofer” setting to “Use” (➔ 54).
• When the passive subwoofers are used, the Powered
Zone 2/4 cannot be used.
• If you use one passive subwoofer, connect it to the
SUBWOOFER1 terminals.
Connecting a Power Amplifier
If you want to use a more powerful power amplifier and use the AV receiver as a preamp, connect it to the PRE OUT
jacks, and connect all speakers to the power amplifier.
