    Receiver used as preamp question

    Hello,

    I just acquired a multi-channel amplifier in my quest to move from a receiver-based home theater to a pre/pro/amp based system. I do not yet have a pre/pro but wonder if it is safe to use my receiver as a preamp (with no speaker load on the receiver) and if the various surround modes will still function in such a configuration.

    Receiver- Denon AVR-1907
    Amp: Rotel RB 985

    Thanks in advance

      Hi,

      You should have no problems using your receiver as a pre/pro.

      You should have access to all surround modes.

      Enjoy!

          Yes, I have a HDMI 1.3 receiver that I use as an outboard HDMI decoder pre/pro, that then sends multichannel analog audio out to my high-end pre/pro.

          Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

              Ditto here. I also use an AVR as pre/pro with no load connected.

                  H20 DTV Receiver - Audio problems
                  by Tumbleweed
                  I installed a H20-600 LG Dirctv HD receiver and for the most part I'm pretty happy. I hope you can help me sort out some audio problems.

                  I am using HDMI to Panasonic tube and the picture is great. For audio, I have a optical cable running to an Onkyo HT-R500 5.1 and in the Pro logic...

                  Question with using receiver as pre/pro for 1075
                  by myki
                  I just got a Rotel RMB-1075 and a Marantz SR4500 as a temporary pre/pro. I will need to save up for the RSP-1066 or 1068 first.

                  I've hooked all my speakers to the 1075 so the receiver only acts as a pre/pro. I've noticed that even with no speakers attached to the receiver, it gets pretty...

                  New receivers, where have all the pre-outs gone for separate amplifiers?
                  by Lex
                  I was just curious what was out there, and I started looking, and have found that the combo receiver that gives you amplification choices, seems to have been eliminated by audio manufacturers. How's that for sucking a$$??? :M

                  I know you can get a pre-pro of course, but let's face...

                  Pre/Pro- Rotel, Outlaw 990
                  by RoMan
                  Hi everybody,

                  I'm considering a pre-amp for my RB 1090 and RMB 1095. I am looking at Rotel RSP 1068 (used) or an Outlaw 990. I would say around 1100 bucks or under would suffice for the moment.

                  I considered the RSP 1069 but it is very expensive and has many issues that...

                  Sherwood P-965 pre-pro not working - may need new pre-pro
                  by Kevin P
                  I finally spent the day getting the home theater hooked up in our new SC house. And discovered that my workhorse P-965 isn't working. It powers up, the display lights up and it goes to the selected input if an input button was used to turn it on, and then nothing. No sound, and no buttons or remote...
