Speaker Impedance - Sony STR-DA5ES Primary Operating Instructions Manual

Speaker system hookup (continued)
Another room hookups

Speaker impedance

To enjoy multi channel surround, connect front,
center, surround, and surround back speakers
with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher,
and set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to
"8 ". Check the operating instructions
supplied with your speakers if you're not sure
of their impedance. (This information is
usually printed on a label on the back of the
speaker.)
You may connect a pair of speakers with a
nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms to
all of the speaker terminals. However, even if
one speaker within this range is connected, set
the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to "4 ".
