Thank you for contacting the NAD Electronics Support Centre.
There is no "AV bypass" in the C375BEE, however what you are describing can be achieved with the C375BEE.
Please review the excerpt below from the Owners manual.
10 PRE OUT 2: Connections to an external power amplifier or processor, such as a surround-sound decoder. In normal use, this should be connected to the Main In sockets with the links supplied. To connect your NAD C 375BEE to external processor or amplifier sections, remove first these links. Use a
twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the left and right “Audio Input” of a power amplifier or processor to the PRE OUT 2 sockets.
Always turn the C 375BEE and associated external power amplifiers OFF before connecting or disconnecting anything to the PRE OUT 2 sockets. The PRE OUT 2 output signal will be affected by the C 375BEE’s volume
and tone control settings.
11 VOLUME PRE OUT 2: The VOLUME PRE-OUT 2 control allows for adjustment of the output level of the PRE OUT 2 sockets. Turn clockwise to increase the PRE OUT 2 volume setting; counter clockwise to lower
it. When set to the maximum position, the output level will be identical to that of the PRE OUT 1 sockets. Refer also to the item below about “Bi-Amping”.
BI -AMPING
Some loudspeakers have separate connection terminals for the LF (Low Frequency) and HF (High Frequency) sections of the speaker. This facility allows to “Bi-Amp” these speakers, where a separate power amplifier is used for the LF and HF section, which may improve overall sound
quality.
If you have any further detailed setup questions, you can also contact your local dealer.
