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.

3If the Pure Direct mode is switched on, some settings above will show OFF, even though they are on.
