    Denon AVR-3805, disabling front & centre amps...

    Hi ya guys, I'm just in the processing of organising my HT and this may come as an odd question. I've got a Rotel RB-1070 powering my centre and RB-1080 powering my fronts, connected via the pre-outs. Now is it possible for me to disable the 'amps' in the 3805 so as to reduce heat dissipation but it should still understand that the pre-outs are to be given a signal?

    Cheers, Mike

    Ok no worries, just called my supplier (about some stands infact) and it seems that the 3805 automatically disables powering the internal amps as there is no closed circuit...sweet

    Cheers.

      The power draw on amps with no speakers connected is minimal, so heat dissipation shouldn't be an issue with regards to the unused amps.
