can you connect a 2 channel power amplifier to the hk avr 354?

The Hk AVR 354 does have 7.1 pre amp out put..so it depends if your power amp has the same connectors..on the avr354 has rca style pre outs..(single RCA audio connector per channel..not sure if it will decode in the new sound codecs like dts master audio or dolby true hd surround sound but doesn't mean it doesn't just not sure on that spectrum some units if hooked up to power amps don't decode... if also looking to get the AVR354 to display these new codecs on the display of the unit.. the blu ray player or slim PS3 has to be set to bitstreaming..if player is set to pcm the AVR354 will only decode what the player is doing..but set the player to bitstreaming and the AVR354 will decode using its own processor and decode what the Blu Ray disc has for soundformat..hope that can answer some questions..Just loved it when my HK AVR354 displayed the new sound codecs..

Yes. There are 7 unbalanced pre-outs on the AVR-354 so seven channels could be driven by external amplifiers with unbalanced inputs. The only downside is that the 354 does not have a trigger output to turn on the external amplifier automatically.

Hello everyone..I repeat if you have a AVR354 and you think that the AVR354 is stuck on multichannel PCM its not!! What ever device dvd player,blu ray player or the PS3 that your gonna watch a movie the player must be set to bitstreaming, or your AVR will stay displaying PCM..like on the older Sony recievers the blue light for digital surround doesn't come on because the player isn't set to bitstreaming..most of the time its not a faulty AVR.. just a confused dvd player(BluRay plaer etc)..

I don't know if it compatible with that particular type of sound system. However the amplifier does need another remote control.

The HK soundbar is a powered unit. If you connect it to your receiver and the output is also powered, you run the risk of damaging both your receiver and your HK soundbar. This device is designed to be connected to a speaker output of a typical tv set, and is not intended to be connected to any type of powered amplification system. I recommend researching your HK receiver to see what the output is, or just reach out directly to HK with your question. Again, driving a powered output to this systems input could severely damage both devices. Good luck

There are pre-outs on the back for all 11 channels. You connect the external amplifier using RCA cables (I recommend Blue Jeans Cables interconnects for cost/performance and you can have them made to the lengths you need), then go into Setup and under Speaker Setup, enable 11.1 playback. That should give you the discrete width channel output to the amplifier. You can run the other 9 channels directly off of the AVR. That said, given the power capabilities of most AVRs, I strongly recommend a good 3-channel amp to power the left, right and center channels, since they get the most sound. I know that Onkyo claims 135w+ per channel, but I promise you an external amp for those three channels will sound SO much better than just running them off the AVR alone. I'm using an Emotiva XPA-3 (which is fair quality gear on the relative cheap) to drive my towers and center and couldn't be happier with the results.

You'll need a cable that goes from regular 1/8" stereo phone jack on your motherboard "green" output to two 1/4" "Phone" plugs going into the input of this amplifier and then set your impedance for AUX on the amplifier. I can't guarantee this will work, though. You may need to use two 5 MFD capacitors to DC isolate the amplifier input from the motherboard audio "green" plug.

If you want to have a splitter between the preamp and the power inserted, you need to use a "power passing" splitter. I used this one from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018BN0UW/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. You may choose a different one depending on the number of connections you need at the splitter.

You'll need to buy a digital interface that will accept a Toslink input and output analog connectors that your AV Receiver will accept...unless you AV Receiver has an optical digital (Toslink) input somewhere on the back...which it should if it's not too old. I send the Toslink output to digital interface that converts it to coaxial digital output (bought on Amazon) and then on to a DAC that accepts the coax digital...said DAC then outputs with red and white analog outputs that go to my preamp (AVR for you). Check the back of your AVR and see it there's a optical digital (Toslink) input. Good Luck JM

As far as I can tell your Denon does not have multi-channel pre-amp outputs. So there is no way to connect an outboard amplifier to your receiver.

correct. The monitor sends on each channel give you flexibility but there is no onboard amplifier for monitors. It may be possible to use the stereo amp and split L & R with one side dedicated to Mains and the other to monitors. You would need to explore that possibility.

Yes you can. It has many inputs. You can even use both mixer's output on PA's input. It will work like a charm! Enjoy it!

I don't know how to hook it up threw a processor, but this amp is horrible, both channels didnt work. Communication was not good at all. Im so sorry I coudn't answer your question.

Tom -Just so I understand your question, are you talking about the IPR2 7500 or your existing amplifiers?With the IPR2 7500, your best bet is connect the SP-2s to one side and the 118s to the other side. Correct impedance match and plenty of power.Hugh&00-806-7774 24/7 Technical Support

you should be able to--but the critical question is how many "amps" your sound bar needs to function--each power supply is rated by how much current (amps) it will provide--just as important as the voltage. And, of course, the plug end needs to fit--which it probably will.

Hello from Australia, Dont think you can, but if you want possible cheap alternative have a look at a Sherwood RX 5502 4 channel stereo receiver can hook up 4 pr of speakers & switch between rooms as required. I have one hooked up to dvd, laptop, dab+ tuner, 500 gb pvr. unfortunately the receiver doesnt have a tape monitor loop to allow all of the components to run thru the equaliser. I run my laptop output thru it. Hope this helps Regards Stu.

i have mine connected to my receiver, but i don't see why it will not work with your preamp, as long that it has the required inputs.

Nope, I have it running a pair of VE-12's, which are a bit more than the xls 28. It is better to have more power than you need than less and turn it up to clipping. I assume you mean using the old sony receiver as a pre-amp. I don't think it will work as that, as the sony won't have the correct output. I have mine running off an external sound blaster card, into a gemini PA-7000 as a pre-amp, then into the CV-900. Just be careful turning it up too loud, as this will put out more power than the xls's can handle. Your Sony would be the receiver, then you would need the pre-amp, then into the cv-900. It is fine for home audio (as not many stereo receivers these days put out decent power). Nope, I have it running a pair of VE-12's, which are a bit more than the xls 28.

I have mine connected to a Harmon Kardon I bought in 1978 and recently had repaired. The HK claims 40 watts per channel but I am told Harmon Kardon is conservative. I believe that. The speakers produce plenty of sound without much throttle on the HK.
