♥♥♥♥ Absolutely Ridiculous, horrible....
Purchased this receiver after a much needed upgrade. Built a house with pre-wired surround caps. Finally able to invest in getting a new system. This looked like an ideal buy, affordable and mostly good reviews. I already knew about the HDMI passthrough, so I was ready for that.

My system is wired for 6.1

I hooked this receiver up to a BOSE Acoustimas 3 series IV (2 cubes with acoustimass box) system (100 watt, 4-8 ohm) for my front speakers and a BOSE VCS-10 center Channel (100 watt, 4-8 ohm) speaker. In the rear I have two Insignia, in-ceiling 100 watt, 8ohm surround speakers and a rear KLH in-ceiling center 100 watt 8 ohm speaker. I do not have a subwoofer.

Hooked it all up and the darn thing kept going into protect mode,as I tried to use the automatic set up mic. It also did it when I did not use the auto set up after about 10 minutes listening to the radio. Tried the troubleshooting, stayed on with nothing hooked up, hooked it back up and same thing, protect mode! Figured it was defective. Amazon was great about a return, in fact they mailed me a replacement the same day I sent the old one back.

Only one problem. I got the new one, hooked it up and....SAME THING. Keep in mind I'm diligent, so I went through and double checked ALL my connections, wires etc. STILL Same thing Protect Mode. SO I call Onkyo, get some guy from god knows where, I think India and after having been put on hold for a number of times, disconnected from them, calling back and explaining my problem to multiple people, they tell me that this receiver will not work if all the speakers do not have the same impedance!?!? The manual says it can handle anything from 6-16 ohms! But it does not say they all have to be the same! WTF? I guess since the Bose have a range that starts to low it won't work.? I'm no tech guy and frankly I don't know ohms from a-holes. This just seem ridiculous.

This still seems wrong to me, but I guess I have to believe the company who made it right? So I'm sending it back and have to formulate another plan... I do not want to buy all new speakers.... What a pain in the @ss. They shold tell you all speakers have to have the same impedance. Why even put a range?
