Very few receivers these days have such jumpers but most, if not all, have 5.1 or 7.1 external in connections. Connect the SB to the L/R of these connections and it will do the same thing. Receivers do not apply any sort of digital processing to 5.1/7.1 connections since these sorts of connections often come from DVD-A/SACD/HD-DVD/Blu-ray devices. Can't have any recording off these sources, can we - so the receiver sends this to the analog section only and applies no processing, often not even volume control. -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'
