How to use Expert pro 220 in a HC config ?

It is a bad idea, drop it. It is just a waste of time. Nothing to do between an “integrated” home cinema amplifier and a high end stereo integrated amplifier.

If you want a good sound for home cinema, try to find a “surround decoder” (multichannel preamplifier) and separate multichannel power amplifier(s)

Not true.

There is quite a number of high quality AVRs - Anthem, Arcam... You'll need to pay a lot to surpass them. I've tested some pre-pros like NAD M27 and Marantz AV8805 and stayed with Anthem. The only pre-pro which added some value was Trinnov - but it costs a lot and I don't need that level for surround - when I already have Devialet for stereo.
