First Time Setup
This section explains the settings that you need to make before using the AV receiver for the very first time.
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.
Notes:
• This procedure can also be performed on the AV
receiver by using its [SETUP], [ENTER], and arrow
buttons.
•The design of the TX-SR805 and TX-SR875 onscreen
setup menus is slightly different. The TX-SR805
onscreen setup menus are used throughout this
instruction manual.
