I have two amps hooked up to five of the pre outs. Ad on to fronts and I had my B&K AV5000 hooked up to five others. Sold B&K today to a fellow polky. Hooked back up the three channel Emotiva XPA3 and sent two side channels back out to pre. Now the center channel does not work? Seems to be the center IC terminal on the Pioneer. So now I am running center through the Pioneer amplifier speaker terminals. . Any ideas besides sending Pioneer in for repair. Bought from Newegg with third party extended warranty that is still valid if I remember right. As always thanks for any and all help. Peace. D

Internal preamp is working and the internal amp is working on the SC68.
If you connect a RCA cable to the center channel pre out and then to any external amp, wire your center channel speaker to it and you get no sound you should check the following.
1) Make sure the RCA cable works and you didn't break it with all the moving around you did. Replace a RCA cable in your system with the one thats in question and see if i works.
2) Make sure the amp your using works. Test it with another pre out you know works
3) Test the center channel, you could have easily knocked off one of the speaker wires which will make it seem like what you just configured is broken.
IF everything checks out then you might have snapped the RCA preamp Center channel out connections internally when you removed the RCA cable. Send it in for service at this time. The SC-68 is a wonderful powerful killer receiver which I feel needs no external amps as I think the internal amps are powerful and sound amazing.
