the digital to analog conversion with its built-in sound card and outputting an analog right and left channel audio signal. This would be connected to the CD or AUX inputs on the receiver NOT the digital input on the receiver. Also you mentioned quote, “jumpered main in and pre out for the front speakers using male-male RCA cables” why are you shorting these connections? You should only need the cable from the netbook computer plugged into the analog CD or AUX inputs on the Harmon Kardon AVR 20-II receiver and then speaker cables from the receiver's speaker output jacks or 5 way binding post connectors (whatever that receiver has some are just cheap spring clips) and then to the right and left speakers respectively. Make certain that the receiver is set to the CD or AUX source selection whichever one you connected the cable from the netbook computer to.

Additionally you wrote, “speaker wire (bare wire) going from the speakers to the front speaker hookups on the receiver” I hope you meant that only the ends of the speaker cable are bare wire connected to the speaker out binding posts on the receiver, the length of speaker wire itself should be insulated or else there will be a dead short between positive and ground and will fry the output transistors on the receiver.
