    No it doesn't have Pre Outs. I have really been thinking of takinng it back with all the reading I've been doing. And first looking for something with more watts per channel, and like you mentioned a Preout so I can add on to it later. I have 2 weeks to return it, so I think it's going back soon.

    Thanks for the help

    Well you guys suck.

    I'm addicted.

    My intention was to go and get a nice amp,nothing to fancy just a little upgrade, and my monitor speakers that I've wanted for a long time.

    well that went to the ****. LOL.

    So I'm now getting a H/K AVR245, it's got my preouts, and more wpc. Also has hdmi, so when I upgrade my TV.

    So no one tell me to look for any other features, cause I'm broke.

    All Jokes aside really wanted to get something that was upgradeable in the future, and still affordible for my budget.

    So Thanks Guys for the help

    After a week of listening to my new setup I must say I have been totally shocked at the difference. I use to run the cheap receivers, and the sound would hardly come out of my rears. You couldn't here the talking very well out of the centre. I just got my Sub back from being repaired, and it shook the house, and it's a crappy sub. A few times I was starteled, thinking there was someone in the basement, the centre channel was amazing, with the new amp.

    Just wanted to send out a big Thank you, to everyone for all there input.

    Congrats on your new receiver, glad you found one you like and can enjoy.

    BTW--THX does not suck, it is worth squat, how much squat depends on your bo-diddly.

    Good job and happy listening gools. Wait until you add a SVS Subwoofer in your HT setup. You'll be knocking the walls down then. Go over and take a peep. Heres the link, www.svsound.com , your life or HT will never be the same.
