Splitting center channel out?

Hi all. I have a home theatre using speakercraft AIMs for 7 channels in the ceiling (had to be done this way because too much glass and open walls issue). The directionality of the center channel localizes too close to the ceiling. My proposed fix, if it will work, is to take the preout line level signals from my center channel on the denon 4802 and feed all three active audio channels of the television (sony 40xbr700). Since the sony will not allow me to specify a specific audio input and since my denon has only 1 preout for the center channel, I have to split the signal.
Will the aforementioned work (ie. send the center channel only also through the sets speakers)?
Do I need to worry about splitting the signal essentially 4 to 6 ways (the preout center is a single lead, there are stereo ins on the sony for each channel (DBS, DVD, composite) in use. I might only do this on DBS and DVD but still this yields 1 to 4. Are there any amplified splitters for line level? I found a 3 in (l,r,v) to 6 zone splitter but this is overkill.
Thoughts?

You ask for advice and then tell them they are not helpful - alext 15:21:01 01/23/02 (0)
