roflol Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 After 35+ years of cassette addiction, it took a mere few hours and the transfer of one of those tapes to MD to convert my husband to an MD man. ;-) Now I'd like to be able to play our growing MD collection on more than just the car radios or via headphones. I considered an MD deck, an MD/CD deck, and a even a cassette/CD deck to consolididate our clutter, and decided against them all. I'm trying to keep it very simple - the fewer components the better. So is the cassette adaptor via a cassette deck the only way I can get our NetMDs to play on our home SX-251R Pioneer receiver and speakers, or is there perhaps a cable I can use to connect my NetMD and one/two of the open jacks in the back of the receiver and get rid of the cassette deck altogether? Thanks in advance. Terri(N707/N505/MZ-S1/handicapped NH600D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Tires Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 You should be able to buy a 3.5mm to RCA cable and connect the NetMD's headphone jack to an input on the receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Something like this should do the trick: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury_in_flames Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 but for about two hundred times the price, one of these would also suffice ; I dont see any clutter , do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roflol Posted June 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Nismo96, Raintheory, thank you both so much! Glad they make those - that's pretty much what I went to bed last night planning to tape together if they didn't. ;-) Found a whole range of prices, lowest on eBay. Went to Wal*Mart to pick up a few things and on a whim went to the electronics dept and there one was for just under $4. Bought one and plugged it into an empty pair of tape jacks, and now my favorite Enya songs are playing just fine over my speakers. I'm so pleased!!! So maybe a better cable (do gold tips make a difference?) would give a better connection, but honestly I just need a reminder of what a song sounds like and my brain takes over from there (I've recorded everything analog at LP4). So thank you again, I am relieved to not have to buy another component, and instead will be selling off the unused double cassette deck and 5-CD deck. I feel lighter already. ;-)GregTheRotter, LOL. With two teenagers, two toddlers, two adults, and three dogs swarming my house I rarely recognize clutter anymore, but those dust-encrusted components residing in my "media cabinet" undoubtedly qualify. Your deck, on the other hand, undoubtedly does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury_in_flames Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 haha, well congrats on your solution all the same That was what i had at first, then i spent a month saving up (i R a teenager lol)and bought an extra two years warranty with this thing. Worth every penny, when u are an old fart, hopefully my deck will still be working and i can tell you to get one off ebay at the very least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
