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. Use
the front panel controls to do this.
• With the receiver in standby, press
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.
