Hey I'm having a problem connecting my guitar into my reciever. My reciever is an Aiwa AV-D67 (http://www.audioreview.com/A-V,Receivers/Aiwa,AV-D67/PRD_125188_2718crx.aspx).
This is what I'm trying to do.
This (http://img55.photobucket.com/albums/v168/lightshow/DVC00089.jpg) is my guitar. It has an output here (http://img55.photobucket.com/albums/v168/lightshow/DVC00087.jpg). I know it works because I've plugged it into a normal amp. This is my mixer (http://img55.photobucket.com/albums/v168/lightshow/DVC00088.jpg)type thing. I've messed with all the settings and still can't get it to work.
I use this (http://img55.photobucket.com/albums/v168/lightshow/DVC00090.jpg) to plug into the output on the guitar. It is the adapter that you use to go between the reciever and the small plug (like a headphone plug).
I then connect that adapter to another that splits into two RCA jacks (red and white) and that is what plugs into my reciever.
What I think might be wrong, but I'm not sure, is that the adapter I use to plug into the guitar must be the wrong kind.
One thing that perplexed me was that when I had plugged the guitar into the reciever the only thing I could pick up was when I hit the "tuner button" it made a nosie like the reciver was picking up the guitar but still the speakers did nothing.
My guitar is an acoustic Takamine G Series.
Thanks for any help :D
