Also, I just remembered. I used to have a Kenwood shelf system, just something to listen to music around the house, and I tried wiring up more speakers to it. It was only 2 channel running at 8ohms. I connected 2 more speakers, splicing them together with another set of 8 ohms speakers(This was years ago before I knew anything about ohms) and hooked them up and turned it on and the system wouldn't play anything, and would say "PROTECT" across the screen. By splicing those speakers together it cut the ohms in half. Putting 2 of the 8ohm speakers together gives you 4 ohms. So lucky for me the stereo recognized this and it had gone into safety mode. Just saying this in case you come across the same problem where the receiver won't do anything for you, it could go into a safe state. Which would be nice before it hurt something.
