    Connection between Receiver and external pre-amp

    Hi, i need some help.
    In order to get Home Cinema sound i´m trying to connect my receiver (Rotel RSX-1057) to my stereo set up (Audiolab 8200 CDQ (Pre-amp)/Audiolab 8200 P (Power)). On the Rotel i´m using the Pre-out (Front Left and Front Right), and on the Audiolab Pre-amp i´m using the Video Input with the Home Theather Mode enabled, but the only signal that i get is from the central speaker, surround speakers and the subwoofer.
    Oh, The Audiolab´s are driving the front speakers, obviously. Surely i´m missing something, please someone help.

    Regards.

    The Rotel can do all the amplification for your home theater??. Why are you using the other equipment for this purpose?. Is it because your Audiolab has better power and performance?.

    Are you trying to use the Audiolab to drive only for right and left speakers?.

        I could find anything in the CDQ manual about home theater mode. I'm assuming that puts the CDQ to the video input with no volume control? Make sure you are using the L/R pre-OUTS on the Rotel, not the L/R multi-inputs (guilty before here)

          Hi Kevin.
          Yes the CDQ is in the Video input with the Home Theater Option enabled, with fixed gain/volume control (it has a trimming option).
          I´m also using the pre-outs FL/FR on the Rotel, i don´t know what to do next...

            Hi madmac.
            I´m using the audiolab´s for stereo use, because they are far better for that than the Rotel.
            Like i said in the initial post, The Audiolab´s are driving (only) the front speakers.
            Because the Rotel has pre-outs, and the Audiolab 8200 CDQ has a Home Theather mode, i was trying to "put them together".
            I´m only getting signal from the central speaker, surround speakers and subwoofer.

            :cry:

              Can you plug the front outputs from the Rotel directly into the 8200 to rule out the outputs?

                You mean, connect directly the Rotel outputs to the power (8200P)?
