Tape input

Hello guys,

I've bought a pre and a power amp recently yet still looking for a cd player. While I am searching for a good one, I want to use my CD receiver as a temporary CD source. I checked out the back of the CD receiver and found an output with 2 RCA pins called 'TAPE OUT' (there is another one called 'TAPE IN' for you to connect it to a TAPE player and use the CD receiver as an amp). I wonder if I can connect via the TAPE OUT to my pre amp so the CD receiver be used as CD player.

If I can't do that, would the headphone jack do the job?

Thank you very much.

Chris

What is "CD reciever" ?

If you mean headphone jack output to pre amp's RCA input, the answer is no. They have different impedance, so not a good match :)

So what about the TAPE OUT RCA plugs on the back of the CD receiver?

CD receiver: an integrated stereo with CD playback, tuner, and amp function

Google's result for CD receiver: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourcei...=cd%20receiver

Thanks
Chris

You should be OK with that configuration. Audio RCA inputs and outputs are compatible cross all audio components :)

THank you Smokey!

Yes this will work.
The tape out of the CD receiver provides a signal out which would be connected to the input of a cassette machine or in your case, to the input of the pre-amp. The tape in function is an input and is connected to the signal output of a cassette deck.
