Re: Confusion over DIN sockets
Didn’t the DIN standard specify input and output pins swapped between amplifiers and tape recorders?
The standard I have (and B&O amplifier and JVC cassette recorder manuals) show
Amplifier: inputs 3 & 5, outputs 1 & 4
Tape recorder: inputs 1 & 4, outputs 3 & 5.
So a “standard” lead would connect pins 1 to 1, 2 to 2 (earth), 3 to 3 etc.
To connect two tape recorders together, you needed a special crossed lead.
