A:Answer Yes just make sure you have the receiver turned off when you do this. It has an automatic shut off when the wires touch, or you are trying to bi-wire it and you have too much wire still exposed. Just a safety mechanism response feature built in to it which is a good thing. Hook up all the wires they way you want to, make sure the wires do not stick out (cut the wires down if need to as the whole for insertion are not that wide) and then turn on the receiver and you should be good to go.
