The Fisher 220T Monitor and Aux question

[Ejohnson]

Good Day,

Old guy here, looking for some clarification.

I have picked up The Fisher 220T Receiver at a yard sale.
Cleaned it inside and out, Deoxit to all switches and knobs, replaced the lamps with LED's.
Looks and sounds great.

This unit has a Monitor switch on the FRONT.
Would I use this when I connect up the Realistic (31-1987) EQ I bought?

Also, there are AUX HIGH and AUX LOW RCA jacks on the back.
What is the difference between these inputs?
When would I used one versus the other?

I apologize for the basics questions, but this is all new to me.
Thank you for looking.

You would wire the RecOut on the Fisher to the input on the EQ. The output of the EQ would be wired to the Tape Monitor and you must select Monitor for the EQ to supply a signal. If you don't select Monitor, the EQ is essentially disabled.

Now bear in mind that this unit has no tone control defeat. That means the output from the EQ will ALWAYS go through the Fisher's tone control circuits. Yup... two tone controls in series!

As for those Aux inputs, they are tied together. That is, there is only one Aux input. The difference is the High Aux has a voltage divider network to knock down the voltage. Purpose in doing this is to insure you can feed a signal to the pre-amp and NOT overload the sensitive input stage.

Hope this helps...
