Rotel processor bypass for Audio Research SP10

I have a 5 channel home theater system using a Rotel RSP1098 processor, that I also want to use for 2 channel stereo using my Audio Research SP10 preamp. Is it possible to connect the SP10 directly to the Rotel pre and out to my front speakers, without degrading the tube signal from my SP10? The Rotel manual says that the signal can be input so that it only goes thru the volume pot of the Rotel but a dealer says that it actually is fed thru the Rotel circuitry and will definately not sound the same. I am trying to avoid having to disconnect and reconnect my speaker wires each time I do dedicated 2ch listening. Thanks for any info

If I understand you, the 'sound' of the AR preamp is what you're trying to preserve. Presumably you're just running a phono through it as nothing else needs a preamp these days.

The multichannel inputs bypass all of the Rotel's processing except the volume. Use the Front L and R.

I recently got a DAV-HDX576WF system. Everything works well but I dont get any sound from the left side when in TV mode, Im using a fiberoptic cable for the sound from my TV

Failure of a digital feed can't be channel-specific. The bitstream either works or it doesn't.

It sounds more like an analog audio feed with a failing channel cable. What path does the "TV" audio follow before it gets to that fibre optic cable?

I'd draw the sound from the Cable Box and bypass the TV.

Surround Sound System Settings ---- Correct Time Delay Setting in Multi-channel Audio

A correctly set surround sound system can yield dramatic improvements to your
home theater sound or multi-channel music listening experience. In particular,
a correctly set time delay setting between the different channels is essential
for a realistic and unified surround soundfield.
Luckily, most of today's surround processors make setting the time delays
between the rear and the fronts a matter of a few entries in the setup menu.
Yet having a proper understanding of the principles behind correct time delay
settings is essential for the best results.
In this guide, we explain the principles behind time delay settings in surround
sound and show you how to adjust your surround processor or AV receiver for the
best surround sound field.

Time Delay Setting in Multi-channel Surround Sound Systems

Correct home theater speaker placement and properly balanced sound levels
between the different channels in multi-channel audio, while crucial, are not
enough to sustain a unified soundfield in a surround sound setup. A correctly
set surround sound system requires that sound from all the different speakers
reach the listener at exactly the same instant.
This explains why all fronts, left, right and center channel speakers, should
be set at exactly the same distance from the listening position. At the same
time, in a typical home theater setup, the surround speakers are closer to the
viewer than the fronts.

To compensate for this distance discrepancy, surround sound playback systems
apply a split-second delay to the surround sound channels.

I wanted to know if there is a way to hook up the sound from a Panasonic DMP-BD655P-K Blu-Ray player to my existing Yamaha DVX C310SW home theater system. I know I can hook the Blu Ray directly to the TV...

Yes this can be done. You have several options for audio hookup. Stereo 2-channel (white and red) RCA cables, digital audio (optical or coaxial) or HDMI. Your home theater must have the inputs available such as optical, coaxial etc. Typically the stereo 2-channel RCA is the simple way. Just connect from the Bluray audio outputs to the Home theater inputs (white and red) for stereo sound. Select the input on the home theater. For Dolby Digital 5.1 use optical digital audio cable (black port) or coaxial (orange RCA port) from Bluray to similar home theater input.

I just purchased an RCA RT2906 home theater system and am experiencing audio delay when switching channels on my Verizon FIOS cable box. It takes 3 or 4 seconds for the audio to kick in each time I switch...

You can try using an optical cable but you will likely run into the same issue. Each time you change the channel the digital stream is interrupted. The HT likely takes this long to start the decode process.
