Hello All,

I just purchased an Emotiva Amp/Processor combo to power my new Axioms. My current receiver was a left over from an old Sony HTIB. I took advantage of a great deal that was being offered on Emotiva's big amp which was %10 off and offered with the new Ultra Lite processor for $99. I thought $99 for a processor was a good deal.

The problem is the amp will be here this weekend. The pre/pro on the other hand might not be here until March as it’s not yet released. I'm trying to figure out how to use my amp until its buddy arrives. My Sony receiver is so cheap that it doesn't have 5.1/7.1 outputs, so I don't see how I can use it as a temporary processor.

The back of my 400 disc DVD changer has 5.1 outputs (which may be only for SACD???) Can I run these outputs directly to the inputs on the new Emotiva amp? It's my understanding that the DVD player has its own decoding chip for Dolby and DTS. I'll have zero bass management or leveling without a processor, but will this work until it shows up??

Thanks!!
