I believe it means that the onboard amp can’t be disable for the center channel even if you’re using the center channel pre-out. I doubt that any of this matters unless you’re doing hi-fi music critical listening, unless you use the center for hi-fi music, which I don’t.
There must be something that my little brain is not computing. There is a pre out which allows you to add an external amp but you can't disable the internal centre channel amp. Doesn't make sense.
How the hell would you use the pre out if the centre channel is using an internal amp, you'll be using two amps simultaneously. I am totally lost. Either you have a pre out or you don't...
Well, yes I will be using the the pre outs for a possible multichannel set up for critical music listening with my own external amps for all channels well 5.1 to be exact and using cheap speakers with the internal amplification for television switching amp assign back and forth to allocate which one ill be using.
