    I wasn't quite sure where to put this but having bought my new rig yesterday (Warick Profet 4, eden 410) I was wondering if it is okay to plug my dvd player into it and use it as a stereo (well technically it'd be a mono). Would this damage it at all, like maybe the impedence running from the dvd player is different from an instrument, etc. I'm still babying this amp and don't want it to get damaged,
    cheers

    What about playing a guitar through a bass amp. i have seen people told off for doing this. What if the DVD was to have some guitar song!!

    Everything can go into a bass rig. A bass, organ or synth can damage some guitar speakers.

    What I used to do was insert a small Behringer mixer between preamp and power amp. You could run the preamp into one channel of the mixer, your DVD source into another (or two of them, etc.).

    I didn't use a CD player but did run a drum machine and guitar amp modeler through my bass rig...worked great!!!!
