Default Re: Confusion over DIN sockets

Hi, a "straight" 3 pin to 5 Pin DIN lead, such as was supplied with many Philips reel to reel and Cassette machines, should suffice between your Amplifier DIN socket and your TK14 'Diode' Socket (the centre one of the three on the socket panel)

If you find that the output from the Amplifier is too low when connecting to the Diode socket, i.e. you have to set the recording level control close to maximum, use the microphone DIN socket instead (farthest right socket when viewed from the rear of the machine) and ensure that you operate the 'MICRO' key next to the STOP key on the tape transport controls.

For playback through your amplifier you MUST connect the DIN lead to the Diode (centre) socket and the output will be dependent on the setting of the TK14's volume control.

Regards

Andrew
