Is it true that we have to set the avr to the lowest ohm when u have mix ohm spk. Example front spk.8ohm n surround 6ohm we have to set to 6ohm for output.

I think that's correct. The AVR must be lower Ohm than your speakers.

Update :-

I checked the manual, even 4 Ohms speaker can still use the 6 Ohm setting, so not always must be lower. Depends on the speakers quality.

But always the chance of overheating if play too high vol on setting 8 Ohm on the AVR but use lower Ohm Speakers.

I read on some forum to leave it at 8 ohms regardless. Mine is on 8 ohm even though my fronts are 4 ohms.

Avr will do the adjustment auto

ohm switching act like a current limiter, so that avr wont over heat when u play loud.
low ohm setting will get less maximum volume.

no difference if u dont play loud.

Where is the shop in Penang?? Very hard to find good AV shops in PG.

I have A2040 and my front speakers are 4 ohms with 90bD sensitivity. Should I set the speakers on the AVR to at least 6 ohms?

According to the manual you should set to 4ohm. The lowest ohm on any spk.u have.
