Switching the speaker impedance

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

• 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 6Ω.

•SP 8 OHM – Use this setting if your speakers are rated at 8Ω 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.
