Default HELP WITH DUAL PRE/PRO CONNECTION

I have a Sony TAE 9000ES and a Parasound AVC 2500 pre/pro that is lying
around. I am wondering if it is possible to connect the two together?
The Sony manual says it allows connection to another processor i.e. I can
change the output level down to 250mV (the normal output level being 1V)
to do that. But the question to you is how do I physically connect the
wires? From what output to what input? Your help and advice would be much
appreciated.

Regards,

Rom


You don't really have to change the output levels. I have a Sony
TA-E1000ES that I buffer with a preamp. It actually works better than
using the 1000 to directly drive an amp.

Connect from Sony outputs to the Parasound 5.1 analog input. Page
http://www.parasound.com/vintage/avc2500u.php notes that "Please remember
the 5.1 analog inputs require an optional 5.1 VC volume control card to
adjust volume with the main AVC-2500u volume knob. No Longer Available."

If you don't have the option card, don't proceed, because there will be no
way to keep the 9000 outputs in balance.

Bob,

Thanks for your reply. No, I do not have the Parasound optional card so I
am thinking........can I do the reverse? Meaning, since the Parasound
requires the card, can I connect the Parasound to the Sony instead? Does
the Sony have an input option?
