    Default Receiver with a processor loop

    Does anyone know of a reciever that allows an EQ/compressor to be inserted in the center channel? It can be done if using a seperate amp feedining off center channel audio out but I'd like to use the receiver's internal center channel amp. Thanks in advance.

    Not that I've ever heard of. Good luck.

    The last one that I saw with that capability was the Marantz SR9300, and that is quite a few years old. Not sure about newer models.

    Are you sure which side of the glass you are on?

    EPL's have gone the way of the Dodo. You might find a record out/record monitor function that will accomplish it in at least two channels, though. Those are still around.

    I've only seen these on two channel units, though, ...not on AVR's.

    Yep. My PM7200 has a main out/in on the back for this. It also lets me bypass the pre section to use the 7200 as an amp, or use the pre section with a separate amp.

    They actually do show up on some AVRs. Those that have a separate "record out" selector, which is sometimes a shift-function of the main source selector, provides an isolated and buffered output of a source, which can then be processed and returned to an aux input chosen on the main selector. The record out sometimes doubles as the 'zone 2' selector, but has the same basic function, minus volume control. Not quite like the old EPL, but would work just as well.

    Can't quite imagine what you'd use as a processor these days though.

    Yes, but the OP specified for the center channel. That indicates something different than a tape monitor loop or two channel pre-out - main-in loop.

    Yep. The OP is looking for something rather specific and it will require an AVR with this option for either all channels or at the very least the front three. I don't recall ever seeing one that only had the front three though.

    Question: How do you select what source is sent to the "record out" lacks?

    Answer: Whatever the input selector is set to.

    Note the bolded.

    Question: If you have to select the "Aux" input on the receiver, what signal is sent to the "record out" jacks?

    Answer: The source pugged into the "Aux" jacks.

    End result: Nothing.

    You are thinking of a "tape monitor loop" which is a totally different critter.
