Default Tandberg 3000X

I have a Tandberg 3000X reel-to-reel tapedeck. I am trying to digitalize my tapes using a U-Control UCA202 interface and Audacity program. I cannot get a signal through to the computer (with Win 10 or Windows Vista). The headphone signal is OK through the interface and the connection cable works fine for the normal output to my stereo system. My "original ?" connection cable has four RCA plugs (supposedly for 4-channel output?). Therefore, for mono recordings I get the output from only one plug. I have also tried another cable (two-channel) and there the mono recording has been combined to both right and left channels.

Is it possible that I don't have the correct copying cable? According to the manual the cable "should be purchased separately". Forty years ago there was no need to copy the tapes so I doubt that the cable I have now was included in the purchase of the recorder. If so, is it possible to get that special copying cable DIN 5- pin /RCA plugs or somehow by-pass this problem?
