Front Bi-Amp connections
Certain loudspeakers are equipped with two sets of input
terminals, for bi-amplification. The AVR-3806 Amp Assign
mode allows you to power bi-amp-capable speakers with
two amplifier channels. Be sure to consult the owner’s
manual of your bi-amp-capable speakers for further
information before proceeding.
