Switching the speaker impedance

We recommend using speakers of 8 Ω with this system, but it is possible to switch the impedance setting if you plan to use speakers with a 6 Ω 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:

Speaker 6 Ω – Use this setting if your speakers are rated at 6 Ω.

Speaker 8 Ω – Use this setting if your speakers are rated at 8 Ω or more.

Checking your system settings

Use the status display screen to check your current settings for features such as surround back channel processing and your current MCACC preset.
