To keep you from plugging in a high impdance (more than 8 ohms) speaker.this may damage the output transistors or module.if it says 8 ohms, do 8 ohms....if it says 16 ohms, do 16 ohm speakers.

Because you've done something with the speaker connections that's too low impedance for the amp.

Amps need a certain level of resistance from the speakers otherwise there's a risk of the amp blowing itself up. Impedance is the name for resistance that varies with audio frequency. If the speakers you connected are any good, then there'll be label on the back telling you their impedance in Ohms.

When running a single set of speakers only then the amp would prefer an 8 Ohm load but it will accept a 4 Ohm load. If you plan to run speakers in both the A and B sockets, then both sets of speakers have to be 8 Ohms and no less. It also tells you this on the printing directly above the speaker sockets on the amp.

The amp is trying to protect itself from an overload situation where it would blow its output transistors and possibly kill your speakers too.

What is speaker A low imp . how to use speaker B.thank.

The Low Impedance setting is for when you have even one speaker with <8-ohms nominal impedance so you can use bot speaker pairs together. You still need to have an effective total (parallel) impedance of 4-ohms minimum or there may be problems like blowing up the amps.

Press and hold the SPEAKERS A or B button until LOW IMP lights or goes out, as required.

Press either button to toggle that speaker pair on or off.

It's in the manual page 14, 22 and 25.

Does the SU-G88 AMP carry a remote control and can you advise where I can buy one from? Is the amp for sale and how much?

Search engines would reveal those answers faster than waiting for one of us to do it for you.

It DOES use a remote.

"Low Imp"

Low Impedance is not a suggestion, it is a WARNING. Your receiver is telling you it senses TOO LOW a load and it's trying to protect itself from damage.

Speakers A& B are running in parallel, so their combined impedance, X, is found by using the formula: 1/X = 1/A + 1/B.

In other words, two 8-ohm speakers in parallel would yield a 4-ohm load.

If your speakers are identical, try running them in series on one speaker output pair. That would keep the impedance safely high.

LOW IMP when trying to select A and B speakers together

Check the back of your speakers (both sets). If they are rated at less than 6 ohms, you cannot use both sets at the same time. (see page 12 of the manual)
Hope that helps!

Marantz 2220B with Sound Problem at Half volume

The most likely cause of this is some DC current working its way through the system. WIthout taking some measurements, it will be difficult to confirm this though. This should not be an expensive repair. Figure on $20 or so for parts (capacitors mostly).

Technics sa-ax730 won't play a&b speakers at same time.

This is similar to protect mode in that the amp has detected a short in the output and has shutdown to prevent damage. Without seeing the unit, I'm a bit hesatant to suggest repair tips. At this point, I would suggest you get a detailed estimate from a local shop. We should be able to guide you through the actual repair once the results are posted here.
