"I assumed all along that this is where the A/V receiver/processor hooks into the stereo sound system. But how do you get the front channels when listening to the A/V system to play through the stereo speakers and main power amps?"

When in theater mode the front L & R channels are coming from the front L & R channels of the AV receiver L & R pre-outs, to the ARC preamp theater bypass inputs, and out to your Brystons. The DVD player is hooked to your AV receiver via optical or coaxial for audio processing. The video output of the DVD player can also go into the AV receiver and out the AV receiver to your TV - or just run the video output of the DVD player directly into the TV.

The only source component that should go INTO the AV receiver is the DVD player via coax or optical. Other source components go directly into your ARC preamp as usual allowing you to select those source components, when not in theater mode, as you always did before when your system was an audio-only system.
