Advanced Setup – Part 1
Bi-Amp connections
Certain loudspeakers are equipped with two sets of input
terminals, for bi-amplification. The AVR-5805CI Amp
Assign mode allows you to power bi-amp-capable
speakers with two amplifier channels, up to a total of 5 bi-
amplified speakers in a system using all 10 of the AVR-
5805CI amplifier channels. Be sure to consult the
operating instructions of your bi-amp-capable speakers for
further information before proceeding.

NOTE:
• When making bi-amp connections, be sure to
remove the short-circuiting bar included with the
speaker.
