How can i connect my graphic equalizer to my sony receiver str dn 1030

Hola Christine Waits, puedes hacer una actualizaci?n de firmware y ver si el problema se corrige
Otra prueba, intenta desconectar todas las conexiones de los altavoces y prueba si la falla contin?a.
Si no se apaga, verifica bien los cables de los altavoces y vuelve a conectar los altavoces uno por uno. para saber cu?l puede estar equivocado o qu? salida est? mal.
Si contin?a, puede tener problemas con la fuente de alimentaci?n o la etapa de amplificaci?n.
En este caso, consulte a un servicio t?cnico especializado de SONY
. Espero que pueda resolver el problema.

Otra prueba, intenta desconectar todas las conexiones de parlante y prueba si sigue la falla
Si no se apaga, revisa bien los cables de los parlantes y ve re conectando de uno de los parlantes para saber cual puede estar mal o que salga esta mal
Si sigue, puedes tener problemas en la fuente de alimentaci?n o en la etapa de amplificaci?n,
En este caso consulta un servicio t?cnico especializado SONY

I own 901's(since new) with the active equalizer powered with a non-Sony surround sound receiver.

Basically, you use the MD/Tape in/out jacks to route the signal to the Bose active equalizer. Switch the Tape Monitor switch if no sound is heard.

Here are some references.
https://docs.sony.com/release/STRDE897.pdf http://products.bose.com/pdf/customer_service/owners/901_guide.pdf

Connect equalizer cables (4 total) to the MD/TAPE section of your receiver. OUT from the receiver to the equalizer IN and Out from the equalizer to IN on the receiver.

One issue with the equalizer running through the MD/Tape jacks is that it may affect any other speakers hooked up to your system.

Well i have a equalizer, some times and just(studio gear) the output from my mixer connected to my equalizer and that output to the monitors., It might be a wrong connection orrrr have you put the equalizer on the receiver input signal, that signal has to be the right impedance and your receiver will propably make the signal linair, so that,s useless

I'm not familiar with your units. The most common set up would be use the "tape monitor loop". Eq out to receiver tape in monitor, Eq in to receiver tape out monitor, then engage receiver "tape monitor" switch on.

What is the problem with this device?

you need a empty in/out tape slot (jacks in back of Sony, if tape deck is connected you can use "Y" connectors) connect jacks to EQ tape in & out.... (press EQ button Bypass)

An EQ usually plugged between a preamp and an amplifier. You have a receiver. There's no connections that will let you do that. The only thing you can do is between a source(ie: CD) and the receiver. The CD will go in the eq and out of eq to cd input on the receiver

on my sony STR-DH800 only center speaker is heard the side speakers is very very low

You can use the VCR audio connections for a stereo analog processor

Many people want to use an EQ with their modern multi-channel Digital Sound Processing gear but at best an analog 2-channel EQ (or any other processor) will only work with analog stereo sources. On most receivers, simply selecting the Tape Monitor disables all digital inputs. However, most DSP can still be employed with analog source material and a 2-channel processor with varying degrees of aesthetic pleasantness. Beauty is indeed in the ear of the beholder.

If that works for you, go for it. I do it, but I fully understand the limitations.

Usually you hook your equalizer between the pre out and main in RCA jacks and then open the connection between the pre and main with a switch. If your unit doesn't have pre out/ main in jacks then I have seen it done by putting your equalizer between the tape in and tape out jacks and then select that tape function on your front panel. The tape out goes to eq. in and the eq. out goes to tape in. Good luck.
