Does It Hurt....


Hi people!

When using a receiver, whether it is a 5.1, or 7.1 configuration does it hurt the channels not connected if I'm using it as a 2.1??

In theory, whatever capacitors and other parts in the unused channels may atrophy from disuse

It doesn't hurt the unused channels, but their self esteem does take a beating.

No one likes to feel like their existence is meaningless.

I threaten them with a 'dummy load'...that seems to mollify them enough for awhile...
