I have two old Technics components and want to connect the EQ to the Receiver. Here is what i have.

Technics receiver ('87)..it has one pair of Left/Right PRE OUT and one pair of Left/Right MAIN IN....VCR 1 rec out/playback....CD in...Tape/VCR2 rec out/playback. All of these are RCA type inputs.

Technics EQ has two line-in/out RCA-style inputs (R & L) and two tape rec/playback inputs, also R & L.

I also have a phono connected, but mainly listen to Directv (XM) through the VCR1 inputs.

Once connected, how should i go about tweaking this EQ? It has 8 controls per channel.

thanks!
