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.
