integra 80.1


hi all i just got an integra 80.1 and i have a question about the set up.

i have m&k speakers that are 4 ohm. my old onkyo that i was using had a speaker ohm setting (8,6,4). im not sure if i misread the manual but i cant seem to figure out how to select the speaker ohms on the integra.

can anyone help?

thanks

thanks, the link you gave me is for the dtr receiver.
sorry i forgot to specify that i have an dhc 80.1 processor and it doesnt say in my manual.

infact, the dtr 80.1 link that you sent for the manual is a little different than my manual.

thanks
thanks,

i am using a jbl synthesis amp. there is no switch on the back of the amp. my m&k speakers are 4 ohm. my old onkyo receiver allowed me to select 4 ohms.

if my amp runs in 8 ohms, will this be harmful for my 4 ohm speakers.

thanks
thanks blindjim,

i was always using separates, the onkyo receiver was only used as a pre amp tho. this allowed me to select 4 ohms in tbe onkyo and run my jbl amp @190 wpc in 4 ohm.

now, with the exception of the new processor, all the components/speakers are the same. the only difference is that the amp must now run @ 125 wpc in 8 ohms ( no ohm switch in 80.1.)

my concern is the unmatched ohm rating my 4 ohm rated m&k s125 speakers which are now being fed power from the 8 ohm rating.
i think the 8 ohm 125 wpc will be enough but i just wanted to double check if the mismatched ohm ratings are a problem.

sorry if i seem a bit confused, im not an experienced audiophile.

thanks so much for your help
