How to use the HT bypass on the 272

Sorry but what is HT bypass??

Assuming the OP means AV bypass, and having just trawled through the 272 manual, I don't think it has the facility, which would certainly simplify the cabling. 

AV bypass can be enbled on any line input. It's switched on from the menu - use the 'wrench' key on your remote.

The manual (p16) reckons AV bypass should be an input option for the rear analogue inputs.

The manual is a bit fuzzy on that... - page 4 of the PDF says that all analogue inputs are 'fixed volume capable' which implies an AV bypass.

You are right, Dave, page 16 tells you what to do. No wonder the OP missed it - it's very well hidden. 

Yes, AV bypass. Thanks, I will check out the manual again. 

I too had trouble with this in relation to my 272, I believe it used be called Unity Gain but it's now called AV Fixed Volume and as HH says it's buried away on p16

Was pulling my hair out searching the manual for Unity Gain!

As people have mentioned - you can select any input as the AV By-Pass input. You select the input you want to assign as the AV-Bypass on the settings section. Here you can also adjust the gain you want to apply when setting speaker levels.

I am using the AV-By-pass for front speakers - and this works well. (You could just as easily use the AV By-pass for rear speakers - although I suspect you would only do this is you used the rear speakers as the main stereo pair - i.e. you have stereo in reverse to AV purposes....
