How does processor loop work?


I'm not sure what is the concept behind tape loop and processor loop. I suppose they are conceptually similar. I understand the need for the bypass input for the processor that provides unity gain. But I am not sure how the processor loop is supposed to work. There is a set of input and corresponding output associated to tape loop and processor loop. How are you supposed to connect your tape / processor to them, and what exactly do they provide?

Theo, if you connect the pass through output to the pre/pro, how will you connect the rest of the system? The power amp has one set of input, and can't connect both the preamp and pre/pro to it at the same time.
Ah, so the processor loop really is for the external parametric equalizer. Not processor in "pre/pro", but a sound processor. And processor loop can't be used to provide HT integration. That was a source of confusion, as I've seen mentions to processor loop when people asked for two channel and HT integration. Thanks for clearing it up.
