How do I hook up a graphics equalizer SH-GE70 to the amp SU-A707? I've already plugged in the CD player SL-PG5 and the tape deck RS-TR474M2, but can't see how to wire in the graphic. If I could have words-of-one-sylable instructions please as I'm not very technical. Thank you.

Normally the turntable is connect to the amp via phono inputs on back (RCA connectors) the tape out to equalizer and equalizer out to tape in on amp. The equalizer does not have phono preamp. The equalizer may not clean up record scratches ,or pops or record track noise.
good luck

I do not know

Any equalizer I have seen can be hooked to the tape loop of a receiver and then any tape deck displaced from that loop if one was plugged in will be hooked to the tape loo[p on the equalizer.
This is a very simple process and one that is often given in the owners manual of the equalizer involved.

the amp should have an in and out for the cassette player also,, so you would go from the Out on the receiver, to the in on the cassette,, and out of the cassette to the in on the receiver, I don't have nor can I locate that EQ , but basically,, you need to come out of the eq and back the same way you would a Cassette player,,

Look for a pre-main coupler on the back of the amp. Remove the coupler and hook the eq in. Output to Input.

Yes, it is a little tricky...

1) CD Changer (output) -> CD input on Amp

this is tricky... this will allow you to record to your tape deck, and control the sound via the EQ:
2) Tape Deck (tape out / recout) -> TAPE PLAYBACK on EQ
3) Tape RecOut on EQ -> Tape 1 Playback on Amp
4) Amp Tape 1 RecOut -> Tape Deck Playback / Input / RecIn
in essence, your creating a loop starting from the tape deck, going to the eq, then to the amp, then back to the tape deck to record.

Your EQ has another set of LINE IN and LINE OUT - use the second Tape 2 on the amp to create another loop. This will
allow you to control the EQ for any of the other sources.
5) LINE IN on EQ -> Tape 2 RecOut
6) Tape 2 Playback on Amp -> LINE OUT on EQ

5) Radio Tuner (output) -> Tuner input on Amp
6) DVD/VCR Combo Output -> AV/AUX on Amp

7) PC Computer... you don't have room for this. You can either use the PHONO input, and you'll have to purchase a Line Level Phono Converter
or, get a Y cable and split the signal and share with some other source.

Hope this helps.

you need a small mixer from radio shack near you.
1-connect cd player to channel 1 in mixer.
2-connect tape to channel 2 in mixer.
3-connect mixer out to equalizer in.
4-connect equalizer out to amp in.

the Technics SH-8058 is a beautiful unit, I got one myself for the past 20 years and never failed y EQuing the sound I want.

I am asuming, you got on your reciever TAPE MONITOR... well, the it is simple,

First, just forget about the TAPE on your Techincs SH 5058

Second, on your Technics LINE OUT, goes on your tape monitor LINE IN

and last; on your LINE IN, goes on your tape monitor REC OUT.

Now, choose you desire componet, and turn on your TAPE MONITOR on your reciever...

enjoy and have fun.

connect your media source(dvd-cd player)to equalizer in-connect equalizer out to amplifier line in-or aux in-connect amplifier out to your loudspeaker.
