Powered speakers to a vintage receiver without a Pre-out Help.

[FlukeWilson]

Hey new member here just looking for some audio help!

I'm going to keep this nice and simple, I have a pair of Yamaha Ps-100 powered speaker columns and I wish to pair it with a vintage Pioneer SX-750 stereo receiver. I want to be able to listen to my record collection through this set up if there is any way.

Is this possible { Yes/ No }
If yes what can I do to get the needle rolling?

Google "speaker level to line level converter".

I would try the headphone jack and/or the Tape/Rec (ouput) turn down volume knobs first. Probably not the best setup.

Tape out? I guess that works, assuming willingness to control volume using the speakers' volume control...if they have one!!! Otherwise, no go.

Headphone jack seems a better option, depending upon how it sounds.

...the Tape/Rec (ouput)

this won't allow any control over the volume, or any preamp functions for that matter.

Got any pics of those powered speakers? My google search comes up as a Yamaha keyboard.

If they have a volume control then you can use them from tape/rec out but you won't have use of any tone controls from the Pioneer. Headphone out would work. Not ideal, but would work.

Thank you skipper but where are the speakers? The link seems to take me to a mushroom toy site.

if worse comes to worse, google Yamaha PS-100 speaker

Okay, I clicked directly on your link and that is what came up. I then clicked on the address bar and copied it. This is what it shows on my post. Weird. Like I said, I googled Yamaha ps-100 and all I get are the keyboards. Hmm.

 

[the skipper]

like I said, google "Yamaha PS-100 speaker'

 

[cademan]

Here's what comes up when I click on Yamaha ps-100. Notice the address bar:

I might have a virus. I'll have to check into it. I just went back and clicked on your link again for the 5th time and the powered speakers popped up. I am mad.....not at you but my computer.

But you see that I did type it in correctly.

[the skipper]
