without looking at the back of the 720, i'm not sure i can tell you what those RCA's would be for, but i used to have an 820 and unfortunately...no pre-outs...

a pre-out will take the signal of a designated channel(let's use l/r for this example) and instead of sending it to the receiver's internal amplifier for ouput to the speakers, it will send it to an external amplifier. in this case, the l/r binding posts on your receiver will not be receiving any signal, so there is nothing to ouput, their amps have been bypassed. you would connect your speakers to the external amp's binding posts since it is actually receiving the signal...
