There's not a lot of info on the web about the specs and sockets on a Nak CMS-5 or the RE-5 reveiver that's part of the system. So some of this is based on the tiny fragment of information you provided.
The HK BDS277 has no outputs, only inputs. So however you decide to connect, the only way that things will work is if sound signals come from the Nak and go to the HK so that the sound comes from the HK speakers.
If the Nak has processor sockets as you have half suggested, then they act as a break point between the NAK pre-amp which does source selection and the Nak power amp that provides the muscle to drive the Nak speakers. Disconnecting the links from Processor Out/Processor In with interrupt the signal flow. You'll then be able to connect Nak Processor Out to one of the line inputs on the HK.
Any sources already connected to the Nak will then have their signals routed to the HK. The Nak speakers will be silent.
I hope this helps you.
