I am wondering. If you have the XP 20 pre and 260.8 power amps. And i was to use them in a home cinema. How do i do it. Because ia was then thinking the too 260,8 amps to drive the front speakers, and then another amps to drive the other 5 speakers.
Sounds easy, but Pass dont have a surround prosessor i belive
*Pass Labs designed Input 5 to be used for Home Theater. The UNITY GAIN function is only available by using the hand held remote control. This function allows the preamplifier to function as a unity buffer (0dB gain at volume step 59) for use with components such as surround processors or av receivers (with pre-outs).
As Jerome says you will need an external processor. Conncetions will look as follows
BDP/Cablebox HDMi output > Processor HDMi input> Processor L and R out (XLR or RCA) > Pass Pre Input 5
Processor C, Surround outs > Multichannel amp
Processor LFE out > Subs
