I recently purchased an Onkyo 898 7.1 channel receiver. The room it currently sits in (new space not yet built) only has room for 6.1 setup. Instead of using 2 back surrounds, I'm using the back Left surround with a center channel placed behind the listening position.
While calibrating, I turned the back Right surround (no speaker attached) down as much as possible -12db. There didn't appear to be any way to tell the receiver that only one of the two back surrounds should be used. I'm not sure turning it down makes any difference, but it made me feel better
Could this situation cause any damage to the receiver or is it similar to having an outlet with nothing plugged in?
