Jim,
Front L&R preamp outputs -> Available input on Onkyo Preamp (say AUX input). Onkyo Preamp -> 2 channel amp. Hook the CD player to the CD input on the Onkyo preamp. For HT, select the AUX input on the Onkyo preamp and pick a fixed volume position on the Onkyo preamp (say 12:00). Calibrate your speakers, with the Yamaha reciever, using the fixed volume position on the Onkyo preamp. You then control the HT operations using the Yamaha receiver. When you want to listen to music, simply select the CD input and control the volume using the Onkyo preamp. This is probaby the best way to do music and HT in the same system. I do something similar to this in my setup. Hope this helps.

Hey Rod M, this question needs to be in FAQ. Audio Fan 15:41:10 01/05/01 (1)
Nicely put Michael. I've posted a similar response several times, and I know many others have as well. If there was a standard FAQ, we could just refer people to it. UHF did it in diagram form in their magazine, which made it simple to understand (hint to Rod).

  Hi, I tried looking up this very question in the Archives but didn't find it, most likely because I didn't input the correct query. My Yamaha is fine for H/T but it's bland and lean/bright for 2 channel stereo. This would probably be a good one for the FAQ. Thanks guy's!
