Hello all,
Go ahead and laugh, but I have all of this equipment and haven't a clue how to hook it up, and I'm not about to ask the ex.
Anyway, here's my dilemma:
I have a 50' Hitachi UltraVision TV (about six years old, I think the model is S0UX58. A Technics SA-GX690 amp, equalizer, CD player, and surround speakers (all but the subwoofer)
How do I set up the TV and what are the proper connections for the rest of the goodies.
I also discovered that the owners' manual that I have for the TV is written in French and since I bought the amp from one of the ex's friends, I don't have that one at all.Does anyone know where I could get the manual for the amp, I have done numerous searches and have come up with only one site, problem is, is that they don't list an online or downloadable manual for one that is this old.
How about a handy website that will give me this info?Many, many thanks!

i think all this stuff is generally very user friendly so that it is easy to hook up.the amp is your center device, in which everything usually gets connected to. so if you turn the amp around to look at the back, you can begin. i'm assuming it's a a/v amp with connections for video, dvd, etc.
everything should be labeled. connect the cd player to the amp. connect all music sources such as tape players, cd, players, to the approiate locations. of course you are using a pair of rca jacks for each of these connections.
also connect all of your video sources, if you have any. these involve 3 rca jacks each because of the addition of the video signal.
if you amp is older, it may just be labeled video 1, video 2, etc., and you can connect any device to any one of these. if you amp is newer, there is probalby a connection labeled 'dvd'.
now of course, you need to connect all the speaker wires between the speakers, and the amp. these are clearly labeled.
last thing for it to work, is to connect a video cable from the amp to the tv. you can use a rca jack from the video out of the amp to the video in on the tv. when you want to play from the video source/amp to the tv, you need to hit the video button on the tv, or the input button, or whatever it's labeled.
that's the basic process, and after it's hooked up. some refinements are possible. like you can also involve your tv speakers into the setup, usually as part of the center channel, or you could have the tv sound hooked up to the amp also by using the audio outs on the tv.
after it's hooked up, you use the stereo button on the amp for regular music listening, and the surround sound, dolby digital, or whatever the surround modes are called, for the 5 channel sound.
how to hook up the equalizer, i'm not positive because i don't use one, but i assume it goes between the cd player and the amp, with rca jacks of course.
you can get rca jacks at radio shack, or at the dollar store.
1] ...they will do a shitty job, down to splicing ICs if you're not watching every minute (so watch every minute).2] It will cost you, so make sure you get a "satisfaction guarantee" that covers a minimum of one return visit by a tech.
3] I offer this timid solution because nobody can do this for you over the phone or the Web and "manuals" suck. If you know what you're doing, you rarely need to refer to a badly written manual. If you don't know what you're doing, those manuals will not help.
4] Be careful what you ask for in the divorce settlement :-))
5} Good luck.

Hi, where are you located? Maybe someone in your area could come out and help you hook it up.
