The socket is blanked off with some sort of plastic cap.

Is this removable and if so what can it be used for - the notes I have read suggest the use of an equaliser.

I want to record with a Creative DAP jukebox - I can playback using a tape socket but am unable to

record via the same. Any suggestions?

This actually connects the pre and power amplifiers and if you remove the plug, the power amplifier will get no signal. Obviosly a graphic equaliser will take the signal, process it and send it back (never heard of anyone actually doing this!! I do however use a similar connection on my Beomaster 5500 to attach a good headphone amplifier which takes in signal and then sends it unaltered back, Why can't you use a Tape socket? It has both input and output.

Peter, thank you for your prompt reply. I have tried to record using the tape socket but the sound is barely noticeable - could it have anything to do with the lead which is has 5 pins or perhaps I should suspect that the jukebox is at fault.

I guess it is the cable. What sort of input output sockets are on the jukebox and what sort of cable do you have. If it has RCA plugs, you need a 4 RCA plug to 5 pin DIN lead and if mini-jackplugs, again you need two stereojacks to 5 pin DIN. I attach the specs for the 6500 which is as good as identical to the 7000.

The lead has a mini jack to a 5 din which was advertised for use between the ipod and b & o equipment.

The jukebox has a mini jack line-in socket and 2 mini jacks line-out sockets.

If I use the lead between jukebox line out (1 jack) and the 7000 tape 1 or 2 playback is fine but plugging line-in to tape does not work at all well when I try to record with the jukebox.

I have viewed the jukebox notes again and it suggests using a pre-amplified source, for instance an md line-out to the jukebox line-in. I guess it is not possible to do what I am attempting to do after all. Thank you for your time and patience.
