If the impedance of any speaker is 4 ohms or more but less than 6, set the Speaker Impedance to 4 ohms.

If you’ve connected your front speakers to the FRONT and SURR BACK terminal posts for bi-amping or bridging (TX-SR875 only), you must change the Speaker Type setting. For hookup information, see “Bi- amping the Front Speakers” on page 23, or “Bridging the Front Speakers (TX-SR875 only)” on page 24.

Notes:

• When bridging is used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to 2.1 speakers in the main room.

• When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main room.

• Before you change these settings, turn down the vol- ume.
