Using my Power Amp + my receiver


I have a Carver AV405 multichannel power amp and also a Sony STR DE-985 receiver.

I was thinking that I could maybe use the power amp to drive the fronts, surrounds and center and use the receiver only to do the decoding.

Is it a good idea...how can I do this ???

Any help would be much appreciated.

Brgds.

Slappy is correct. If your receiver has pre-outs, go ahead and connect your Carver to the pre-outs and your speakers to the Carver. The sound is bound to be better than coming from your receiver.
