Hi Frédéric, I tried exactly the same some time ago. Unfortunately the outcome wasthe same: no sound on both amps. My guess was, that the front and rear"output thingy" mute each other when they got initialized, that is onecould use either of them but not both. I don't know for sure but theonly option I see is to combine the streams and then route it throughthe surround51 device but I never came that far.
