Since moving to Accuphase separates C-2820 and A-47 combo I am unable to get the EXT-PRE function on the C-2820 to operate in the same way...no sound through left and right when running the signal from the AV receiver through EXT-PRE on the C-2820. Am I doing something wrong, should the C-2820 run in the same way as the E-470 from this perspective. Kinda scratching my head as to why I cannot get this to work. If I run the AV through line 3 on the C-2820 I get sound, just nothing when EXT-PRE is used.
Any help appreciated and thanks in advance.

EXT-PRE on E-470 is the direct input to the internal power amp.
EXT-PRE on preamps (select with output selector) just loops through the EXT-PRE input to the output:
balanced in to balanced out or
unbalanced in to unbalanced out,
even if the preamp is switched off (at least on my C-3850).
The whole system is entirely controlled by the A/V receiver.
Hope this helped.
