Correct Way to Connect an EQ in my Hifi System ?

lowrider : 
so tape out to EQ , output of EQ back into tape in ....
plug all components into there assigned inputs in back of amp 
TT 1 into Phono 
TT2 into Line 1 
"To change sources to the EQ, input the sources into the Recorder on the front of the amp." 

Im not following that? input sources into the recorder on front of amp? 

A tape deck has to have an input selected in order to record it, ie, recording from a record.
Instead of a tape deck you're using the EQ.

so you are saying when I turn my selector to tape recorder 1 (with EQ looped in that channel) It should EQ all components? As far as I know when I select Tape recorder 1 it just outputs that 1 channel & I should hear nothing ?? I don’t have a switch on front of Marantz that has that "tape monitor" switch like the old days w my old receivers...I do have a REC OUT button , that's it ...

here’s what I did :

Tape Recorder 1 Out > In to EQ
Tape Recorder 1 In > Out of EQ
Turned Selector to Recorder 1 and turned on TT w LP - got nothing

The only thing Im not getting is "input all sources on front of amp" what exactly are you talking about there? 

Usually the tape deck has a switch called input selector or something similar. Also there should be a switch called monitor which selects TAPE or SOURCE. One you will only hear the tape, the other u only hear your sources and Tape is muted.

Can you link the user manual?

thanks , still not getting anything unless I route a turntable right into the EQ which is super noisy ...
