A pioneer gr-333 graphic equalizer which is labelled on back side; all input and output is written on tape only..Can i connect a cd player on this terminal?

What do you mean by the leads are "flat type" on the Marantz? Are you referring to the speaker wire output terminals? If so, the graphic equalizer should be connected to the pre-amp input of the amplifier, not the speaker level outputs.

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

hi,
Try this. You need 4 RCA setreo Chord for this.

1. connect the cd player out to the LINE input of Equlizer.
2. connect the Record out of equlizer to Tape's Record input.
3. connect the Play out of the Tape to the Play in of Equlizer.
4. connect the Line out of the Equlizer to the CD input of amp.


Always Select CD in the amp. And select between tape and CD in the Equlizer.
OK

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).

record out-------equalizer in-------equalizer out------tape in

no need for phono, you can go to radio shack and get a selection switch to make things easier.

To EQ all audio sources you'll need to have a receiver/amp with either a tape monitor loop or a pre amp-in/main-out loop. Look for a button on the front labelled 'Tape Mon' or ins and outs on the back labelled pre amp-out/main-in. If you have these you can connect the outs from the amp to the ins on your EQ and then EQ outs go back into the amps ins. If you have a tape deck as well, the EQ's 'tape mon' jacks replace the ones it takes up on the amp, so just plug your tape deck in here.

Just remember that whether you have a tape deck or not, if you hang an EQ off the 'tape mon' loop you'll have to engage the 'tape mon' button/switch for playback with EQ.

If your amp doesn't have these loops you can still use EQ but you may be restriced to one audio component source. So say you wanted to EQ the playback from your CD player, you'd just connect the CD players output into the EQs input, then connect the EQ's output into the amplifiers input (for CD player). Then everything you play through the CD player will be EQ'd.

Wire outputs from CD player into inputs of Equalizer, then connect outputs of equalizer to inputs of amp, then output of amp to speakers. Use the best wire possible for all connections, i.e. Monster cables ect.
