I beleive that's to be expected from the Onkyo ds787, as they specify min. impedance of 6 ohms. On the other hand the DS797 is last years model of the current sr800. It has a setup screen for impedance selection; ie, for less than or greater than 6 ohms. I was not concerned with the unit shuting down. The concern is tonal quality, reduced volume (?), etc., if switched to the low impedance. Anyone have experience with this ?? Sorry! Didn't mean to take this thread away from the original topic!!
