I have bought a new digital reciever which suggests connecting speakers with an Impedance of 8-16ohm. I still have my old LG speakers, which are 6ohm.
I have connected them up, but I only seem to get audio from the FM radio and (very quietly) from AM radio. There is no audio from a CD or DVD. I have yet to try an external Dolby input (from my PS3). I've also noticed that the L and R disappears on my display when I switch from FM to CD/DVD.
Would the impedance mismatch be causing this? I have read that most systems will mute in the event of such a mis-match, but I think it's strange that the FM audio works and nothing else. Could it be an issue with my receiver?
Basically, I don't really want to have to fork out for some 8+ohm speakers if they won't fix the problem.
Thanks in advance
