Surround Processor with Integrated Amp

Assuming you are only passing the front 2 channels from a surround processor through the integrated amp, you need to use the volume control in the processor. The VC in the amp should be kept at a fixed setting.

Kal is correct. When you set up the speaker levels on the processor, you need to have the volume control on the integrated amp set to a pre-determined fixed level, like top dead center or 5 or something like that. Then ever time you play HT sources through the processor, you'll first need to set the integrated amp's volume control to that pre-determined level.

Having 2 volume controls would not degrade sound?

So keep volume control on amp constant, and adjust volume on processor?

But, why not the other way around, keep volume control on processor constant and keep processor volume fixed?

In other words:
Could I change the volume on processor, and measure the voltage of the output on the processor so that it matches the voltage output of, say my CD player. Then have processor volume control fixed at that level/voltage, then just vary the volume control on the amp?
(Hope this makes sense)
