Pioneer sg530

[Evets]

This forum has been so useful to me and I thank all the people who have helped me in the past.
I'm now in need of some more assistance, I have purchased a Pioneer sg530 graphic equaliser to add to my Pioneer X-G7 hifi system. This equaliser was a factory option on this system but as this was purchased second hand I didn't get a user manual. Searching the internet has been fruitless, can anyone help with a schematic of how this should be wired into the system or possible a copy of the user manual.
Thanks

type this into GOOGLE "Pioneer sg 530 manual"

Thanks, that was the first thing I did and although a couple of sites had the service manual which I did download. This however this did not contain any connection information. A couple of sites claimed to have the user manual but the links either failed to download or open correctly and I ignored any that were not in English ( I could have been downloading anything). I don't give up easily and tried several search engines. Pioneer no longer provide information on these older models. If you can find a connection schematic and provide a working link I would be grateful.

There is an owners manual for a SG-540 which may be very close, or maybe someone with a hifiengine account can download it
It is a equalizer, not that hard to install.

I tried registering for a hifi engine account but they aren't accepting new accounts. I'm new to electronics so 'easy' is relative to knowledge. In my day job rebuilding complex mechanical machines is relatively easy.

I know they are not accepting new members, maybe someone here has a membership and can download the owner's manual.
Did you look at the manual for the sg-540? Many amps have a pair of metal loops for the preamp section that you remove to insert a eq in the audio path.

Yes I have downloaded the manual for the sg540 but not had time to look at, later tonight maybe. Unfortunately my amp doesn't have the pressure amp loops which raises another question. Do I need to hard wire the EQ into the amp or use a separate EQ for each peripheral?

[Evets]

Pre amp not pressure amp... I hate predictive text.

If you have the sa-930 amp you can connect the eq to the TAPE 2/ADAPTOR rec and play jacks then switch the TAPE2/ADAPTOR switch to ON
Connect it just like it is connected in the SG-540 mannual
