Hi Ramesh!!
I am unable to understand your solution. I think our friend here wants a to use AVR, Stereo Pre and Stereo power along with CD and DVD player.
Your solution eliminates the stereo pre amp. Maybe you can help me understand your solution.
I suggest two options to your problem:
Option1: I feel our friend wants to use AVR for surround and centre channels. Then he wants to channel out LR via pre-out of AVR and into Stereo pre. From stereo pre to Stereo power amp. The CD player shall be connected to Stereo pre-amp and DVD player to the AVR.
Now, when he wants to run CD player, the AVR could be turned off.
When he is using the DVD player then he needs to use AVR (For centre and surrounds) and Stereo Pre & Power for front LR.
Balancing the Volume b/w AVR and stereo Pre could be tricky. One will have to use both remotes- AVR and Stereo Pre for perfect volume control. I don't think it is going to be easy.
This is how I feel it would be done. However, these are my assumptions- All theory. I could be wrong here. If there are other people having different views then I am all ears.
Option 2: Another alternative is probably to use a switcher. The LR speakers shall be connected to the output of the switcher and both- the AVR and Stere Pre shall be connected to the input/s of the switcher. In this the pre-out of AVR is not used-Regular LR speaker connections are used using speaker wire.
One has to toggle inputs from the switcher for desired source.
But, purists condem the use of switcher. They say that it deteriorates the quality of sound. It's your call.
lemme know what u think.

This is absolutely fine.
Do not try or connect this way. Already you will be getting variable output from your AVR's Preout and again you are trying to route this variable output to a Stereo Pre's (Video input) and this signal level is again controlled by the Stereo Pre's volume control which is totally incorrect. It is like trying to connect 2 preamps in series for one Stereo Power Amplifier
This is the right method ....
1) Use a Coaxial cable or an Optical cable from the DVD player to the AVR for Centre channel, Surrounds & Subwoofer.
2) Use a 2 RCA cable and connect the AVR's Front speakers analog preout to a Stereo Power Amp
and not to a Stereo Preamp or a Stereo Integrated Amp.
3) Ensure that the wattage of the Stereo Power Amp is equal to AVR's front channels wattage as per AVR's specs.
Cheers,
Ramesh
