BIG PROBLEM! if you want Dolby Digital decoding with ALL SIX OUTPUT CHANNELS (Left/Right front, Front center, Left/Right rear, LFE to powered sub) you need SIX POWER AMPS, one for each channel!

If you want to use the "standard" L/R analog stereo inputs on your preamp, all you'll get is PROLOGIC DECODING (L/R front, center, mono surround) from your main amps, not Dolby Digital (or DTS).

Therefore you'll either have to "bite the bullet" and buy a "DOLBY DIGITAL-READY" RECEIVER (receiver with 6 "special" input jacks for an outboard decoder) or MORE POWER AMPS to handle the other outputs from the decoder.

Hope this helps a little? :)
