There should be no problem if you use the digital out from your CD player into the HK. Or you can try Y cables from the analog output of your CD player if it only has one pair of analog outs and see how that works. But, if you have a DVD player, it would be easier to play your CDs in it when you want to use surround sound.
Safely combining 2ch. and HT.
I have a Classe cp50 pre-amp, Classe CA 300 amp, Classe .5cdp for stereo and a Harmon kardon surround processor for HT. I have it set up so that I run out the HK "front, pre-outs" to my pre-amp "surround in". That enables me to use my BW N804's for the front speakers while in HT mode. I would also like to run the CD signal out the pre-amp and in to the HK to occassionaly use the surround processor to add a larger sound stage (allowing me to also use my BW 602 rears). However, I don't see how to do that without creating a "feed-back loop" that might damage the equipment, unless I get used to plugging and unplugging wires. Can this be done? If so, anybody got a tip how to set this up properly?
