[QUOTE="PAPPA3, post: 847776, member: 1199"] This can be done as I see on the net: "Think of the old receiver as a multichannel amp with lots of fancy controls that should be ignored. Just as you proposed at first, you only need to connect the appropriate preamp outputs of your new receiver to preamp inputs of your old receiver and connect the old receiver's speaker binding posts to appropriate speakers. The sound-and-vision article is useful, although it talks about Pioneer options that might not have corresponding settings in your old receiver. Do a return-to-factory-settings reset on the old receiver. This will clear out its YPAO and other settings, which now are irrelevant. Select its Direct option, the multichannel analog input, and set the volume control at about 80%. (Mark where it is in case it gets changed accidentally.)" https://www.soundandvision.com/content/can-i-use-receiver-separate-power-amp http://www.avsforum.com/forum/90-receivers-amps-processors/2766761-using-old-avr-external-amp.html [/QUOTE]
