Re: AV System vs Audio System

If the Onkyo has preamp outputs, you can use the tape loop in the Plinius, assuming it has one. In my system, I have an Audio Research preamp driving two channels of a Bryston 5B-ST in stereo mode. In home theater mode, I turn on the tape monitor switch on the preamp. The tape outputs are hooked into an input on my Marantz AV-9000 preamp/processor. The signal goes into the Marantz for Dolby Pro-Logic processing, and then comes back into the preamp after being processed. It then goes out to the amplifier to provide the sound for the left and right front channels, with the mono center channel information having been subtracted back in the Marantz. The thing is that you need to have the volume control on the preamp always set to the same position whenever you put it into home theater mode (I set mine at 12:00 when I initially calibrated it and put it back at that position whenever I do this).
