Connect Equalizer to Yamaha receiver

To hook up a Yamaha RX-V1800 receiver to a Yamaha EQ70 equalizer, you can follow these steps:

1. Turn off the power to both the receiver and the equalizer.
2. Connect one end of a stereo RCA cable to the "TAPE OUT" jacks on the back of the Yamaha RX-V1800 receiver.
3. Connect the other end of the RCA cable to the "INPUT" jacks on the back of the Yamaha EQ70 equalizer.
4. Connect another stereo RCA cable to the "OUTPUT" jacks on the back of the Yamaha EQ70 equalizer.
5. Connect the other end of the second RCA cable to the "TAPE IN" jacks on the back of the Yamaha RX-V1800 receiver.
6. Turn on the power to both the receiver and the equalizer.
7. Use the EQ70 equalizer to adjust the sound as desired.

Note: Be sure to select the "TAPE" input on the Yamaha RX-V1800 receiver to hear the audio processed through the equalizer.

Connect equalizer to preamp outputs and inputs on receiver. If none, use tape monitor input/outputs to set up equalizer.

Connect one pair of RCA cables between the receiver and equalizer. Connect one pair of cables to the pre-amp output channels on the receiver and the other end of the cable to the left and right channel inputs on the equalizer. You will usually find these channels on the rear of the equalizer.

Connecting an Equalizer to a Receiver Before beginning, purchase RCA cables. In order to run the signal from a stereo receiver to the graphic equalizer and then on to the amplifier, two sets of RCA cables are needed. These are basic cables used to connect auxiliary components like record players and CD players. The length of the RCA cables should be about the same length as the distance between the receiver and equalizer.

1. Connect Graphic the Equalizer to the Receiver

The first step in this setup is to connect the graphic equalizer (EQ) to the receiver. Most receivers will have preamp-in and preamp-out connections. Some have tape monitor connections. It's preferable to connect the EQ to the preamp-in or preamp-out because the tape monitor won't allow for connection to the amplifier as well.

2. Connect the RCA Cables

The first set of RCA cables should connect the receiver and equalizer. Connect one pair to the preamp output channels and the other end to the left and right input channels on the EQ. These are on the back side of the equalizer. Usually, the colors will correspond to the RCA plugs. That means connect the red plug to the red jack and the white plug to the white jack. Then connect the second pair of RCA cables between the receiver and the amp. Match the colors in the same way.

3. Connect the Amp to the Receiver

Now the amp can be connected to the receiver via RCA cables in the amp inputs on the receiver. This will create a loop from the receiver through the EQ and amp and back to the receiver so that all three units are connected.

4. Test Graphic Equalizer

Turn on the receiver, amp and equalizer. Once they are powered up, try controlling the sound with the equalizer knobs. They should fine tune the music according to your preferences. It's easy to change the frequency response or tone of the music with the equalizer knobs.

Use the tape monitor loop. Connect from the TAPE REC output on the receiver to the INPUT on the equalizer and from the OUTPUT on the equalizer to the PLAYBACK input on the receiver. YOU can then switch the equalizer in and out using the TAPE MON switch. I think the Model Seven had two tape loops, so just keep everything on the same loop.

ways to hook up an equalizer

cd player out-------------equalizer in------------equalizer out------receiver line in or tape in.

try to connect it in tape in-and confirm that you select the right input in the receiver(in our situation you will select tape as input source).

from your receiver; R&L PRE OUT to R&L LINE IN of Equalizer.
And - from Equalizer R&L LINE OUT to Receiver MAIN IN.

Hope this helps!

this way should work : connect the OUTPUT of stereo ( ke-4535) to the INPUTS of GRAPHIC EQUALIZER ,then the speaker outputs of the GRAPHIC EQUALIZER to speakers , in this order you have control to adjust the sound coming from the PIONEER stereo . hope this helps
