Switching the speaker impedance

We recommend using speakers of 8 with this system, but it is possible to switch the impedance setting if you plan to use speakers with a 6 impedance rating. Use the front panel controls to do this.

• With the receiver in standby, press STANDBY/ ON while holding down the SPEAKERS button. Each time you do this, you switch between the impedance settings:

SP 6 OHM – Use this setting if your speakers are rated at 6 .

SP 8 OHM – Use this setting if your speakers are rated at 8 or more.
