You can not hook it up thru a reciever, in order for you to use the processor loop of the preamp you will need to get a separate hometheater processor unit if you want to keep the same two channels set-up and watch HT at the same time. But most separate HT processor with DD/ DTS ( 5.1 & 6.1 ) would be a lot better than a receiver but it will also cost a lot more too. Good luck
help w/ preamp to 5.1 receiver hookup
I purchased a conradjohnson pfr with a processor loop but can't figure out how to run my home theater receiver through it. I love the preamps musical abilities but would like to watch dvds using the same main speakers. I have a five channel amp also. A lot of threads talk about how great this is but nobody goes into enough details for me to figure out how to do the hookup. Thanks in advance bwd
