I noticed the same thing on my friend's Marantz 9200 when installing it. I had removed all the jumpers during moving and forgot to install two to test it out, but there was still a little signal getting through. It was faint, and I had to crank the receiver nearly to max to hear it, but it was there. To be honest, I don't think this is really a problem, it's more or less normal. If you could disconnect the pre and amp section in most receivers, I bet you'd be even more disappointed. The thing is, when you disconnect the jumpers, that signal has nowhere to go, and the output stage will pick it up, but if it IS connected, I don't think it's an issue.
What cables did you try, and what methods, just out of curiousity?
