Can it hurt a 5.1amp only using left & right chnls
Hello
Can anyone tell me if I am hurting a 5.1 channel amp by only using the front left and right channels for output. Its a Harman Kardon avr 525 it always has run a little warm. I am using it for stereo sound only.
Nope, just turn off the unused channel in it's menus, if possible. Will be something like 'no' in the places where it lists the crossover slopes Won't damage anything either way.
Yes, but of course those unused channels have "hurt" feelings cause they've been neglected. Where's the love for those wasted rears?
All kiddin' aside, the HK I owned for a bit ran warm too. Perhaps it's the nature of the amps inside, but as long as you're providing it ample ventilation I'd not worry about it.
