Thanks gonk... The Yamaha does have gain controls. Mainly I would like to hear my Ipod (AUX) and my CD player (Optical2) in the other rooms. I like the idea of using the tape output to drive the Yamaha...sounds like that would work. Since the AUX is already analog, I will connect the CD analog outputs also. Stay tuned, I will let you know how it works out!!! Thanks
