Yes, you are right. From the manual http://manuals.harman.com/HK/Owner%27s%20Manual/HKP1445AVR645om-LowRes.pdf on page 39: "The AVR 645 is among the very few A/V receivers capable of direct connection to a computer for audio playback". So it can be used as an external Soundcard. Interesting feature. Would be interesting too, if it can be used from Linux out of the box. - -- "He's a globe-trotting guerilla house-husband haunted by an iconic dead American confidante She's a vivacious foul-mouthed vampire from a different time and place.
