PREPARATION PREPARATION Connecting Your Equipment Speaker impedance You can change the speaker impedance for VSX-43TX but we recommend using speakers with an impedance of 8 Ω-16 Ω (the default setting). If you are using 6 Ω- less than 8 Ω impedance speakers, you need to change the impedance setting. Use any speaker rated between 6 Ω-16 Ω.

The receiver will reset to the new impedance setting. With this method you can choose the 8 Ω16 Ω setting or the 6 Ω-8 Ω setting. To check which impedance setting to hold down the SPEAKERS button for 2-3 seconds. You'll get a display like these telling you the speaker impedance setting.

Bi-wiring your speakers This high quality but difficult method of wiring speakers will be unnecessary for most users. In order to do this your speakers must be bi-wireable (that is they must have separate terminals for the high and low frequencies). To bi-wire a speaker, connect two sets of speaker cords to each speaker terminal on the receiver. The easiest way to do this is to connect one wire in the normal way, and use a banana plug for the other one. Make sure you use a parallel (not series) connection when doing so. Don't connect different speakers from the same terminal in this way. 25
