Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your speakers if you are not sure of their impedance. (This information is often on the back of the speaker.) Alternatively, you may connect speakers of nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms to any or all of the speaker terminals. In this case, be sure to set the value to "SP 4Ω/6Ω" even if you connect just one speaker of nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms. 1 Press AMP MENU.
