Q: Questiondoes this unit have a balance control on the remote ? I don't see one, but maybe there is one, I hope

Asked 2 years ago by johnchevy.

• A:Answer Hi johnchevy,Thank you for the question. Yes, there is a TREBLE +- and BASS +- button on the remote to adjust the tonal balance of the speakers. There is also a SPEAKER BALANCE option that lets you adjust the balance between left and right speakers. For SPEAKER BALANCE adjustment, you will have to navigate to the AMP MENU of the receiver. See page 29 of this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4726/f63b8edb2b154409daa55875111f95e4/47269071M.pdf Hope this helps! Whether you choose to enjoy the warm sound of vinyl via the phono input , or stream music from your digital music collection, you’ve found a perfect match. Don’t forget the receiver’s A=B function lets you connect two pairs of speakers. You can easily switch between A or B or use them all together at the same time. When you factor in the low-profile design, we’re sure you’ve found the flexibility and performance you’ve been looking for! Regards, Sam

Q: QuestionHi, I have two 6 ohm Sony speakers connected to the front and two 8 ohm Sony speakers connected to the rear. Is this OK for playing both A + B, and if so which amp setting is suggested, 8 or 6 ohms. Currently I have selected 8 ohms.

Asked 2 years ago by Jamie.

• A:Answer Hi Jamie, Good question! Yes, it will work as long as the speakers connected fall within the impedance range of 6-16 ohms. When you connect all the speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher, set the speaker impedance or “SP IMP.” to “8 OHM”. In other connections, set it to “6 OHM”. Hope this helps!
