    Can an AVR be used as amp only?

    I've been looking at a few pre/processors lately & I'm curious if my NAD T773 can still be put to good use. I currently have an external two channel amp for my front mains & a monoblock for my center. I only need power for the surrounds.

    I would think that the T773 can be run that way but I need to know for sure. Has anyone here ever done this? Hopefully it can.

    Yup.

    Pre-pro Surround Out > T773 Surround In

    Enjoy.

        by adrian carreon
        Hello guys just a silly question from me, I'm kind of curious about the avr & surround sound processor.

        Ok let say my setup has AVR & amps if I want to change my AVR to surround sound processor is there any changes on the sound quality? Does it worth of replacing it?

        PLIIx Cinema decoding of Dolby Digital 5.1 Sources with Denon AVR 3805. Please Help.
        by Octavio
        I have a problem with my new Receiver, Denon AVR 3805. When I play a DVD encoded with Dolby Digital 5.1 (connected to OPT1 input) and try to use the Surround Back speaker I only get PLIIx Music and can't get PLIIx Cinema as an option. Of course SB Channel is set to on.

        Each time...

        Hello,

        I just bought a Denon AVR-3805 and a DVD-2900 in Norway. I really liked the Auto Calibration of the AVR-3805: It works very well as far as I can hear.

        However, then comes the disappointment: When playing SACD or DVD-Audio, I have to use the Ext. In connection that...
