Caution

• This unit is configured for 8-ohm speakers at the factory. When connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the speaker impedance of this unit to "6 Ω MIN". In this case, you can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers. For

details, see "Setting the speaker impedance" (p.16).

To create a natural stereoscopic sound field, use them as presence speakers.
