USP-1 Home Theater Bypass Questions

[Colby]

Hi All,

I have not used the home theater bypass feature on my USP-1 to date. I've been using
2 different systems with my main speakers hooked up to the preamp. Using an Onkyo
TX-NR818 for zones 2&3. I just recently ran another set of speaker wires from the
receiver to the 6.2s so I can use the towers for tv sound.

I tried hooking up the bypass feature to the receiver and I didn't do it properly
because I did not get any sound. Maybe I am misunderstanding what the HT bypass is
used for? I guess what I want to do is use the towers through the usp & receiver for
tv sound without having to switch out the speaker cables from pre to receiver every time
I want to do this.

How should I hook this up, and is this what the HT bypass is supposed to do?
Am I still running the speaker cables to mono amps which is hooked up to the usp-1?
I can call Emo Monday, but just thought I might be able to resolve this weekend.

Thanks for any help.

John

-Left/Right front preouts from receiver to USP-1 L/R HT bypass inputs.

-L/R bypass outs from USP-1 to amp(s).

-Speaker cables from amp(s) to L/R front speakers.

-USP-1 must be powered on, and HT Bypass must be selected.

Thank you kse

Still not working, maybe the usp1 is the problem......

Curious, have you tried both High Pass out and Full Range out from the USP-1? If not, try which ever one you have not been trying...

If I remember, bypass won't work with full range.

This is what I'm thinking...

I use HT bypass for both L and R plus Sub hence High Pass output (not Full Range).
