Newbie ? on setup with panny xr-55

[trout]

OK, sorry for the dumb question but this is my first home theater. It includes: CMT-340 SE mains, center and CBM-170 SEs. I guess I should biwire the mains but I am not sure how to wire the center channel. It has 2 sets of terminals on the speaker, so what am I supposed to do. thanks

You don't need to bi-wire the mains. Use either set of speaker terminals on the 340's. The 340's come with jumpers installed. That's the metal piece between the two sets of terminals. If you were going to use both sets of terminals, you'd remove the jumper. Not at all necessary. You would need a separate amp to bi-wire the center speaker. This isn't advisable.

Or you can biwire the mains if you choose with the xr55 but can not biwire the center with the 55 just wire it as normal. you will need to change settings on the xr55 if you run in biwire mode, best to consult the manual on this.
