Can and how do I connect an mp3 player to this amplifier?

Yes, it is possible to add a Sumo amplifier to a Denon AVR (Audio/Video Receiver) system. The Denon AVR is designed to be the central hub for audio and video processing, providing amplification and routing signals to speakers and other audio devices.
To add a Sumo amplifier to your Denon AVR system, you can follow these general steps:
1. Determine the audio output options on your Denon AVR: Check if your Denon AVR has preamp outputs, which are typically labeled as "Pre Out" or "Main Out." These outputs are used to connect external amplifiers like the Sumo amp.
2. Identify the input options on the Sumo amplifier: Check the inputs available on the Sumo amplifier. It should have an input that matches the output from your Denon AVR. The most common connection is RCA, but there could be other options like XLR or optical.
3. Connect the Denon AVR to the Sumo amplifier: Use appropriate cables to connect the preamp outputs of your Denon AVR to the inputs of the Sumo amplifier. For RCA connections, you will need RCA cables with male connectors on both ends. Make sure to match the left and right channels correctly.
4. Configure the Denon AVR: Once the connections are made, you may need to configure the Denon AVR to use the external amplifier. Check your Denon AVR's manual or menu settings to disable the internal amplifier for the connected speakers. This will ensure that the AVR sends the audio signal to the Sumo amp instead.
5. Set up the Sumo amplifier: Follow the instructions provided with the Sumo amplifier to set it up correctly. This may involve adjusting gain levels, selecting input sources, and configuring any other settings specific to the Sumo amp.
6. Test and enjoy: Once everything is connected and configured, test the system by playing audio through your Denon AVR. The audio signal should be amplified by the Sumo amplifier and sent to your speakers, providing enhanced power and performance.
It's worth noting that the specific steps and options may vary depending on the models of your Denon AVR and Sumo amplifier. It's always recommended to consult the user manuals for both devices and, if needed, seek assistance from an audio professional or the manufacturers' support teams for detailed guidance tailored to your specific equipment.

This MIGHT help a little

You need a stereo receiver or Hi-Fi amplifier to drive these speakers.

The amp or receiver will have red and black speaker terminals to match up with the speakers. Use some speaker wire to make the connections.

Once the amp and speakers are connected, you can add a source. The source could be your PC, TV, games console, MP3 player.

To setup the Bose 901's so that all of your connected equipment's sound (cable/dvd/games/stereo/etc) comes out of the 901's.
If you already have a receiver with front left and right pre-outs, I would add an amplifier. (other option is a pre-amp) Use the amplifier to create the loop the 901's need w/ their EQ and it will also add a cleaner sound and added power. That's how you can really make the Bose 901's sound amazing.

Does the TV have a line audio outpot (red and white jack)? If so feed the amplifier input from there.

Some older computers that have USB ports that limit the output to 5V @ .5 amp current. Depending on your MP3 player, it may not be sufficient to charge the player. This was the spec back then. Since then, new USB specs call for 5V @ 1.0 amp current - a two fold increase in current.

You may have better luck connecting to a powered USB hub instead. If you're only looking to charge the MP3 player, you don't even need to connect it to the computer. The powered hub gets powered by connecting the ac adapter / power supply to a wall outlet - instead from of the computer's power supply via mother board.

The above assumes there is a good, rechargeable battery; a functioning charger & USB port in the MP3 player and of course, a working USB cable. If any of the above is faulty, you'll never get the MP3 Player to accept a charge. You should try different computers, cables and ports if possible.

Good luck!

Have you connected the rca plugs to the radio or amp directly? If you've connected it to the radio make sure that the input level controls are adjusted AND available on that model (it will say AUX, INPUT, SUBWOOFER, REAR, etc.) Connecting your mp3 player directly to the amp will not have enough juice to hear sound you need to connect it to the radio first.

you could get a bluetooth dock and cables or just get a saeltech bluetooth speaker and run it off your computer .It will let you run your i tunes or media player and go thru your playlist or artist songlisting can also be operated remotely on the speaker unit !

Dear Armani,

You cannot put de leads from an MP3 player or your TV into the pre-amplified connection of your Denon,
the phono "stage" is a low input stage, your input from MP3, TV, CD, DVD oscasetteplayer is high output (a 5 to 10 times stronger signal)
Try every other stage like tape 1 or 2, this will work just fine,

Hi, Below is an image of a std stereo amp from the TA7232 spec sheet. Vcc can be 6-12V with minimum output load (spkr) of 4-8ohms L/R each. Pout is 0.6-3.7W/Ch. You may need to add a stereo volume control at the input sides. Hope this be of some help. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need further information. Good luck and kind regards.
