Set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR for the front speakers as

indicated in the table below. Check the instruction

manual of your speakers if you're not sure of the

impedance. (This information is usually printed on a

label on the back of the speaker.)

If tile nominal impedance of Set IMPEDANCE SELECTORto
