The home theater bypass feature allows you to use your two stereo speakers as your Front Left and Front Right speakers in a home theater setup as well. Basically you take the FR & FL line outputs of your HT receiver or SSP and run them into the HT bypass of your stereo preamp. Most HT bypass' are unity gain, which means that the volume control on your HT receiver or SSP will control the level of all of the speakers.

I hope this helps.
