The EXTRA SP jacks of this unit should not be connected to a

speakers per channel could create an abnormally low impedance
load resulting in amplifier damage. See this owner's manual for
correct usage.
Compliance with minimum speaker impedance information for all
channels must be maintained at all times. This information is found
