Hi all,
Noob question here, sorry! I've got a Pioneer SC-65 and was planning on picking up my very first amp - I've ultimately decided on the Emotiva XPA-5. I understand that it's simply a matter of hooking up the RCA cable from the amp to the receiver's pre-outs, then hooking up the speakers to the amp.
My problem (and confusion) is the pre-outs on the receiver have two outputs for the front and surround channels, while the emotiva only has one for each channel. How exactly do I hook it up? Even the diagram for the receiver shows two cables being used for every pre-out except the center channel.

The pre-out section of the receiver can be seen here if it helps.
Thanks in advance for your help!
