Typical EQ7153 Input and Output Connections
In the typical setup, a user should wire from the output of the signal source directly to one of the RCA
inputs on the rear of the EQ7153. Once the input signal source is connected to the EQ7153, connect
the amplifier to the EQ7153’s LINE outputs. Pictured above is a TV and DVD player connected to the
EQ7153’s inputs. The REC output is connected to the input of a tape recorder. The LINE output of
EQ7153 is connected to the input of another amplifier. You can bypass the tape recorder and just
connect the LINEOUTPUT to the input of another amplifier. The LINE OUTPUT will send the signal
from the selected input (AUX,DVD,Tape,Tuner or MP3 Player).
NOTE:WHEN MAKING THESE CONNECTIONS THE POWER OF THE E7153 AND THE SIGNAL
SOURCE SHOULD ALL BE IN THE OFF POSITION
