The problem with using the pre outs on the Onkyo is that the level changes depending of where you have thew volume set at. Does the Onkyo have a "Tape out" ? if so that would be the best as its signal is fixed and simply run that to your Sony into one of its inputs (not the multi channel ins)

Thanks Tony,

Since the Onkyo had the 'pre-out open' (six jacks), and the Sony has the "Muti Ch In" (six jacks) open, thought it would be best option ...if it'll work.

This will work but again the multi channel output from the Onkyo is going to be variable depending on the Onkyo's volume control so this may be a bit of a nuisance.
