I want tohook up a Kenwood KA-88 Amp. to a KT-58 Tuner to a DP-M5540 disc player and KA-68W Cassette deck. how do I do it?

Hello Pandit, the sequence of connections that I suggest, is the following, you connect the tuner KT-56 in the Tuner input of the KT-76 amplifier, the Cassettera deck in the Tape 1 connections of the KT-76, and the GE- equalizer 46 on the Tape 2 connections
I sent you the link to download the KT-76 user manual
on the third page there is a description of the connections, in your case instead of cassette 2 you will connect the GE-46 equalizer
I hope you manage to interconnect all the equipment and enjoy good music
Greetings Franco Dosil

Hola Pandit, la secuencia de conexiones que te sugiero, es la siguiente, conectas el sintonizador KT-56 en la entrada Tuner del amplificador KT-76, la Cassettera deck en las conexiones de Tape 1 del KT-76, y el ecualizador GE-46 en las conexiones de Tape 2
Te env?o el link para que descargues el manual de usuario del KT-76
en la tercer pagina hay una descripci?n de las conexiones, en tu caso en vez de la cassettera 2 conectaras el ecualizador GE-46
Espero que logres interconectar todos los equipos y disfrutes de buena m?sica

Yes. It is. Electro help

the standby light should be on if the unit is not 'ON' if you want the 894 to turn on when you power up the 996, then you will have to plug the ac for the 894 into the 'switched' ac outlet on the back of the 996
what specific problems do you have with this system

That's a pretty standard setup. RCA cables from the KM207 to the preamp (KC207), and RCA cables from all of the other components into the KC207. Speakers connect into the KM207

Hi,

Check the bellow link for the user manual of kenwood KA-994. In page number 4 of the user manual You can see how to make the connections to the receiver


Manual

Ajin

Connect the RCA Outputs of the Tuner to the RCA inputs for Tuner on the amp.
Connect the output of the Tape Deck to the Tape Input on the amp.
Connect the input of the Tape Deck to the Tape Output on the amp.

Select Tuner on the amp to listen to the tuner.
Select tape Monitor to hear the Tape Deck(s).

I presume you realize none of these things produces speaker amplification. A receiver would do that and facilitate graceful and simultaneous interconnections. But it's not a necessity for selective interconnective between them, just not all at the same time.

I can't find any details on anything you named except the Tuner.

Typically, the tuner would use an RCA pair to go to a receiver AUX, TUNER or other Line Level input for source selection and amplification. Lacking a receiver, run it to the Tape Deck inputs for recording.

Ditto for the CD changer, but you'll probably have to disconnect the tuner.

start with the tuner, hook up the equalizer to the tuner, then on the rear of the equilizer hook up all the peripherals except the amps which will go to the tuner outputs and all will feed thru the tuner to the amps and out to the speakers

Okay you are going to need 5 sets of RCA cables of 3 foot lengths. Ensure the KM-207 is adequately ventilated unless you want to burn up the KM-207. Next you will want to place the KC-207 near the KM-207 and connect the "Output to Amp" from the KC-207 to the "Input" to the KM-207. Now you may stack the KX-77CW, the DP-M97 and the KT-87 Tuner in no particular order. I tend to place them sideways so I may access them just in case I don't like how it is set up. Unless I can access them from the back. "Output" or "Play" from the DP-M207 goes into the "CD Input" in the back of the KC-207. "Output" or "Record" on the KC-207 "Tape 1" goes into the "Input or "Record" on the KX-77CW. "Output"or "Play" on the KX-77CW goes into the "Input" or "Play" on the "Tape 1" of the KC-207. "Output" on the KT-87 Tuner goes into the "Tuner Input" on the KC-207. Here is a trick to help you new stuff uses color codes such as White or Blue RCA cable ends, and Red RCA cable ends to indicate White or Blue for Left channel and Red for Right channel. Now you didn't indicate how to hookup speakers so I will not assume you are concerned about anything but using headphones for listening. I hope this has been of assistance.

mine does the same and it cost 100 pounds to have the output chips replaced
