Connecting speakers

To connect each of the speakers, unscrew the

corresponding terminals on the back of the AVR400,

insert the speaker wires through the hole in each post

and screw the terminals back up. Make sure that the

red (positive/+) terminal of the speaker is connected to

the red (positive/+) terminal on the back panel, and the

black (negative/) terminal of the speaker is connected

to the black (negative/) terminal on the back panel.

It is important that no stray strands of wire from these

connections are allowed to touch another cable or the

product casing. Failure to ensure this can cause a short

circuit and damage your AVR400.

Do not over-tighten the loudspeaker terminals, or use a

wrench, pliers, etc., as this could damage the terminals

and this would not be covered under the product’s

warranty.

Bi-Amping the Front Left & Right speakers

Bi-amping is the use of two amplier channels per speaker. Bi-amping can

provide better sound quality than conventional single wiring. If you do not have

Surround Back speakers (i.e. you have a 5.1 surround system, not a 7.1 system)

then you can use the spare Surround Back speaker outputs to bi-amplify the

front le and right speakers, if your speakers support bi-amping. e spare

channels can alternatively be used to power stereo speakers in another room

(Zone 2).

Speakers that support bi-amping have two sets of +/- terminals per speaker,

usually linked together by metal strips. ese metal strips MUST be removed

when bi-amping; failure to remove them will result in damage to the amplier

that is not covered under warranty.

To bi-amp the front le and right speakers, remove the metal strips from

the speaker terminals. Connect the woofer or LF terminals to the FL and FR

terminals on the AVR400. Connect the tweeter or HF terminals to the SBL and

SBR terminals on the AVR400. Finally, navigate to the Setup Menu “Spkr Types”

and set the ‘Use Channels 6+7 for” menu option to “BiAmp L+R” — see page E-32.

Using external power ampliers

e internal power amplier of the AVR400 can

be supplemented or replaced with external power

amplication. Connect the PREAMP OUT sockets to your

power amplier inputs:

FL, FR, C

Connect these to the equivalent (Right, Le and Centre)

front channels of your power amplier.

SUB

Subwoofer output. Connect this to the input of your

active subwoofer, if present.

SR, SL

Surround Right and Surround Le outputs. Connect

these to the Surround Right and Le power amplier

inputs.

SBR, SBL

Surround Back Right and Surround Back Le outputs

(only used in 7.1 channel systems). Connect these to the

Surround Back Right and Surround Back Le power

amplier inputs.

All pre-amplier analogue outputs are buered, have

a low output impedance and are at line level. ey are

able to drive long cables or several inputs in parallel if

required.

Connecting subwoofers

e AVR400 also allows an active subwoofer to be connected to the SUB output.

See your subwoofer handbook for the

correct setting up and connection for

your particular subwoofer.

Speaker cables

e speakers should be connected to the amplier using

good-quality, high-purity, low impedance copper cables.

Cheap speaker cables should be avoided – they are a

false economy and can signicantly degrade the sound

quality.

e cable runs to the speakers should be as short as

practicable. Connections to the speaker terminals

should always be nger tight, whether using bare wires

or spade connectors.
