In reply to:
But what about equalizers? Surely you'd want to do that after processing...
Hmmm...the way my Marantz receiver works is that it only recognizes the pre-ins in what it calls "direct mode", i.e. I don't have the option of applying any processing at all. What I hear is whatever the Pioneer sends it. But at the risk of sounding like an officious snob, I'm not sure I'd want to apply any ambient presets, anyway. If, however, by "equalization" you mean compensating for things like distance, the Pioneer universal player handles that. Mark (mhorgel) explained the setup pretty well to me in
this thread. Maybe that will help.
