Connecting the Receiver

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].

Change the impedance value to "4 Ω" using
4
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.
