Hooking everything up for the first time


The connections between the receiver and the power amp - do you just use normal speaker cable?

Sounds like a dumb question but I've never had a separate power amp before.

Onkyo TX-NR515 receiver
Emotiva XPR-5 power amp (no manual!)

If I'm correct, it sounds like you are trying to use the pre-amp in the receiver to feed the power amp? If so, you need a regular IC from the pre -out jacks on the receiver to the input jacks on the amp.
No, you need a regular IC with rca connectors. Not sure how you could even use speaker cable...
