I guess I'm starting to show my age. I've read the owners manual and just can't figure this out. I have a 5.1 Paradigm speaker package - towers and large center channel in the front. All three are bi-amp/bi-wire capable. I would like to bi-wire/bi-amp all three of these. Can I do this in free assign? If so, what are the steps? Thanks in advance for the help.

Bi-wiring is simple, where you have one run of cable (e.g. Left + on the amp to left + on the speaker), you now have 2 runs, common at the amp end, (e.g. Left + on the amp to left+ HF and Left + LF on the speaker), but do remember to remove the speaker shorting links.

Bi-amping extends this further, I do it with a separate power amp with my older Denon, but IF you can set the internal power amps such that there are 2 sets of front out puts, (e.g. Left + 1 and left + 2), then each of these feeds a separate speaker input (e.g. Left + 1 on the amp goes to Left + HF on the speaker, and Left + 2 on the amp goes to Left + LF on the speaker).

I've only explained the connections for Left +, but it applies to Left- , right+, right- etc. for any and all bi-amped channels. Make sense ?
