I just purchased this receiver on black friday for a great deal (140)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882117398
My roommate has a pair of M-Audio Bx8a Studiophile POWERED monitor speakers.
Now I know that I need to hook these up to PRE OUT outputs on the on the receiver.
The Pioneer only has PRE OUT for the "SURR BACK/FRONT HEIGHT" speakers (the other speaker connections are all powered, which are useless to me). It looks like there are also a few other RCA outputs (blu-ray out, etc...)
MY QUESTION IS THIS:
Will it be possible to configure this receiver to just do normal 2.0 sound using the above pre out (or any other RCA outputs on this receiver)? I have not been able to go over the manual since the item has not arrived yet, and I am not very knowledgable about home audio. My worry is that the pre out is only for surround/front height speakers, so I dont know if I will be able to use that PRE OUT as the sole output.
To reiterate, I want to use this receiver with 2 powered monitors, without any other speakers. Is this possible?
Thank you so much for any help!!!
