Impedance Settings (1 Viewer)

[Edwin Tan]

New here and hoping to get some advice. Just got a Pioneer packaged HT. Front speakers are of 6ohms nominal impedance. Center and surround speakers are 8 ohms nominal impedance. Speaker impedance can be set on the receiver at either 6 ohms for all or 8-16 ohms for all:frowning:

Question is which is the safest bet to set the receiver to? And if impedance setting does not match between receiver and speakers, what are the likely problems?

Cheers

Always set for the lowest impedance the amplifier will see so set yours for 6 Ohms.
