In Reply to: Receivers with pre outs? posted by middleground on December 12, 2004 at 07:23:59:
There are many AV receivers with preouts but I cannot point to one specifically without knowing much more of your needs. OTOH, the best way to set this up is to have a stereo preamp with a HT bypass input which provides a fixed gain path for the front L/R output from the AV receiver.Kal

According to the manual of my ARC LS-25 there is a "processor/input switch" ... "allowing an external video processor to control the system when used in a surround sound audio/video mode." 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? I am looking at a Yamaha 7.1 receiver with the microphone and automatic set-up. Given my druthers, I would buy Rotel, but, at this stage, I am looking at the type of unit available in big box stores at a discount. The people working there are not very knowledgeable. I was told in one of these stores that the receivers they offer do not have pre-outs (run of the mill Yamaha, Panasonic, H-K and such) so that I would have to go to a hi-fi store to get what I am looking for. I know that one of the hi-fi stores up here in Montreal that I deal with (the ARC dealer in fact) does have the Rotel line and that they are quite good looking units that have received good reviews. Since I just bought the RPTV and I have to get a centre channel speaker and sub, I would like to keep the price of the receiver as low as possible. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
"I assumed all along that this is where the A/V receiver/processor hooks into the stereo sound system.

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.
