Connecting the Receiver—Continued

Configuring the Speaker Impedance

On the receiver, the factory default for speaker impedance is “6 Ω”. If you need to change the speaker impedance setting, read “Speaker Connection Precautions” on page 10 carefully before performing the procedure below.

 

Note:

Be sure to minimize the volume level on the receiver

before configuring the speaker impedance.

1 Press the [] button to turn on the power.

2 Press the [SETUP] button on the remote controller.

3 Use the arrow []/[] buttons to select “3. Hardware Setup,” and then press [ENTER].

 ENTER

SETUP

4

Change the impedance value to “4 Ω” using

 

the arrow []/[] buttons.

 

 

5

Press the [SETUP] button on the remote

 

controller to complete the setting.

If you want to change the impedance setting back to the factory default setting of 6 Ω, follow the same procedure described above.

Notes:

• This procedure can also be performed on the receiver by using [SETUP], TUNING []/[], PRESET []/[], and ENTER.

• Press [RETURN] to return to the previous menu.

Setting example :

If you’re using only one of the speaker sets connected to SPEAKERS A or B, choose the 4 Ω setting if each speaker’s impedance is 4 Ω to less than 6 Ω, or choose the 6 Ω setting if each speaker’s impedance is 6 Ω or more.

If you’re using both of the speaker sets connected to SPEAKERS A and B, choose the 4 Ω setting if each speaker’s impedance is 8 to 16 Ω.
