I need a diagram to connect a pioneer equalizer gc-550 to apioneer am vsx 401

  • Anonymous Mar 11, 2019

    Use tape 2 monitor on your amp
    REC connect to EQ input
    PLAY connect to EQ output
    To use a separate equalizer any receiver needs to have a tape monitor loop type of input or Pre-out--Main in plugs, not just a tape input. A simple tape input even having input and output plugs will not work.
    To find out what you really have if in doubt with any amp or receiver take a set of RCA cables and connect the tape ins and outs together R in to out and L in to out, and select tape. If you can select and listen to all your other connected sources with tape turned on your receiver will work great with a EQ. If you cant hear them it won't.
    Real tape monitors are becoming a scarcity in modern receivers and many that have them will not let you use it in a surround mode, only stereo and absolutely won't let you use it with a digital input (coax, tosslink).
    Be careful with the EQ adjustments especially at high levels. A 3db boost doubles the output power in that band. A 12db boost when your amp is at its limit can damage speakers and amp. If you don't hear distortion your probably ok.

SOURCE: Bose 901 connection to Pioneer VSX-917v Receiver

any pre-out should work. i believe the bose have a rca jack connector for attaching to the receiver. look at the new receiver connection diagram. any output that is rca designed for use by a recording device will send a signal that the 901's can see.
always check the manual on both before connecting for any precautions.
good luck

SOURCE: pioneer vsx-d510 coaxial dvd connection problem

Hello,
I recommend you use an optical connection. Your VSX-D510 has only one optical input, but I believe it is assignable. Use a good optical cable and connect directly to your DVR. Follow the manual to assign the input and it should work.
Good luck

More info on pg. 83 of manual.

I just want to know if I can run a turntable through this unit

You can connect some turntables to the VSX-54TX. The turntable needs to have a built-in phono equalizer; then you can connect it to the Line In connection. See page 26 of the manual for the details. The manual is available on the Pioneer product page: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Home/AV-Receivers/Elite+Receivers/VSX-54TX in the Manuals & Brochures section. The current direct link to the manual is http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pio/pe/images/portal/cit_11221/128163968VSX-54TX%20OPERATING%20INSTRUCTIONS.pdf .

I hope this helps. If you post a comment with the model of the turntable, I may be able to help identify if it has the built-in equalizer.

Im having trouble hooking up my equalizer to my Pioneer audio/video multichannel receiver vsx-814

Looking at the back..bottom right corner is CDR/Tape in and out. Connect the in on the eq to the out of CDR/tape, connect the out of the eq to the in of CDR/tape.
You should then be able to use the CDR/tape monitor button to switch the equalizer in and out.
