QuestionIs clipping problem likely using this with SKB-540 7.1 speaker system? I have always thought that these were 6-ohm, 100 watt but tried looking these up online and now see some differing specs. Thank You. Older receivers have died from flaws.
Asked 3 months ago by SKB540.
- Answer Hello Skb540, The speaker rating for the SKB 540's are 8 ohms 130 watts. I would recommend checking the receiver to see what it is able output. Is the issue only happening on certain speakers or all speakers? Have you taking the speaker that its happening to and put it onto another terminal to see if you are experiencing the same issues?

QuestionWill bose 301 be a good March with this reciever
Asked 8 months ago by T.
- Answer Hello --- T The TXSR494 has the ability to connect the BOSE 301's. It would be recommended to check with BOSE on what setting for the impedance should be selected on the TXSR494 since the BOSE are a range 4 to 8 ohm load. Once you have that information then you can set the receiver to support the impedance of the speakers. You can reference this information on pg 22 and pg 72 within the manual of the TXSR494.

QuestionCan the Pre/Line Out zone B be assigned to be used as the Front sound source? I have powered speakers I want to use as the "front" sound source in my home theater set up.
Asked 1 year ago by NextLevelSoundProductions.
