I'm re-setting up with a new amp. I have many questions but I'll do one thing at a time to keep it easy on myself. I recently purchased a Denon AVR 887, I have it hooked up with only two main speakers (I hope thats ok). All inputs work as they should (haven't tried a cassette, so far I have no video equip. hooked up). The sound is good and strong yet I would like to refine it further. I've tried hooking up my EQ (Yamaha EQ-70) to no avail. I can't seem to get any equalized sound at all. I have it hooked up in what I believe is called the "tape loop" by all you experts, and the tape player hooked into the EQ. Heres a link to the amp info http://usa.denon.com/AVR-887Lit.pdf ,I Can't supply supply more info on the EQ other than the model #. It basically has an in, out , and the tape player hook ups. Any help would be great. I have already e-maile Denon, but have yet to gat a response. Thanks in advance. Billy
