trey what gear are you using exactly?

are you saying the sony should know not to pass a signal to the speakers?

oh.  i thought you meant you hooked up a different pair of speakers than you have normally attached.

so why don't your speakers work?

OK, I'm no expert on these kinds of things, but I don't think doing this can damage the speakers - the damage could occur to the amp.  However, there was a thread a while back where people were saying that it was OK to plug speakers that were rated at 8 ohms into the 4ohm terminals... not sure if that means that the flip of that is true...

sorry bout your luck guys - I please let us know how it is resolved... :(

Tickets are dead to me.  Except the ones I have, don't have, and lost.  Not to mention the ones you have, don't have, and lost.   And the ones that other dude has, doesn't have, and lost.  Let me know if you need some tickets, I'm happy to oblige.

mine keeps saying code 11 protection.

A while back I read a thread on audioasylum (I think) about the 3000es - the early models did not have the plastic 'seal' on the back and many people had their unit lock up because a stray strand of speaker wire touched the unit and it shorted. Apparantly when this happened the unit locked up and said "code 11 protection" and had to be sent to Sony to be fixed.

Maybe the 4ohm speakers caused a similar situation...

From what I read it had to go to Sony to be fixed, but don't quote me on it.
Mine has to go to Sony to repair the hiss issue....

I dont think there will be any damage to the speakers.  they are not getting the 'umph" they need...so they are essentialy not getting enough juice. 

as for the sony though...
I dont know about that either.
