Speaker impedance
You can change the speaker impedance for VSX-45TX but we recommend using speakers with an imped-
ance 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
.
First put the receiver in STANDBY mode, then
press the power button while holding down the
SPEAKERS button.
The receiver will reset to the new impedance
setting. With this method you can choose the 8
Ω
-
16
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.
(This display indicates a 6
Ω
-
less than 8
Ω
impedance
setting.)
(This display indicates an
8
Ω

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.
