DIN Connectors
Hallo,
I'm getting a 70's (I think) HMV integrated record player/amp, which I'm planning to use as my main record player, but I noticed that it has a tape-player connection that uses a 5-pin DIN connector. If I recall correctly, does the DIN connector have both input and output stereo connections, and what are the functions of each of the pins? I'd like to make an adaptor to plug into the DIN socket and connects to RCA output/input sockets... ...elynnia |

Re: DIN Connectors
Hi elynnia,
Yes, 5 pin DIN connectors were very commonly used to carry stereo signals in both directions. You'll find pinout diagrams on this page: http://www.vandenhul.com/artpap/wiring-din.htm Paul |

Re: DIN Connectors
Hi Paul,
Just looked at that URL and the info within. What are the left and right amplifier outputs for? Are these outputs from the output side of the pre-amp that are used for recording, etc? Thanks Aubrey |

Re: DIN Connectors
Hi Aubrey,
You're right first time When an amplifier or receiver had several 5-pin DIN sockets, as many did, only those intended for tape decks would include the output connections, at signal level for recording purposes. Paul |
