Hi guys


I am having an urge to add rear speakers for my YHT-S401 and i wanted to use the rear speakers (or front speakers if better) from an old Panasonic SA-PT170 DVD home theatre system. But I am not sure if it can be used as the connectors for the rear speakers in yht-s401 says ' speaker impedance 6 ohm ' and the pt170 rear speakers says 5 ohm!!


Is it okay to still use them. I'm really a noob when it comes technical audio terminology!


Thx in advance guys!

No problem using them.

Thx for replying, mate! So the six impedance is the max the receiver would properly handle, am I correct??

Speakers vary impedance depending on frequency, so that 5 ohm speaker might be 30 ohms at one frequency and 3 ohms at another.  This is common and nothing too worry about.  The Yamaha will handle it fine.
