![]() ![]() The naming of the inputs and the corresponding labeling on the front panel Selector Switch just makes the unit easy to set up and use. Any audio component, with Line Level outputs, can be plugged into these using RCA interconnect cables. Your JVC's inputs labeled DAD/AUX, Tuner and Tape Play are referred to as Line Level inputs. Stereo Cassette Deck, ANRS/Dolby noise reduction for clean, clear recordings, 6-LED multi-peak indicators, one set per channel, 3-digit tape counter, jacks for microphones, input level controls, tape selector (metal, CrO2, normal). RCA/'Phono' type inputs: Phono, Tuner, Aux, Tape – I’m new to this and am not familiar with the jargon, so it would be a big help if you guys could dumb down your answers for me. I’ve given below the specs and photos relating to the cassette deck, amplifier and speakers. So basically what I’m asking is for a way to allow me to play music form my iPod on the aforementioned system. But the problem is that the system is almost 28 years old so I’m not sure whether the inputs/outputs on it will be compatible with the modern day audio connectors. Anyway, I thought that it would be cool to have a vintage music system and am therefore looking forward to setting it up. Like my cable that Im building.I was recently given an amplifier, a cassette deck and a pair of (huge) speakers by my dad, which he had bought way back in ’84. That'll be true line out and charging for my Fuze. Im gonna order a Griffen Power dock and see what that does just for craps and giggles. Could probably gut most of the carrier and just leave the audio head. But this would give us nice clean input, no adapter hassle, no line out/charging problems, and no mechanical noise. This would require disabling the casette carrier because if you hit eject bad things would happen at this point haha. So if we can trick the deck into thinking there's a tape in there, we could remove the head, fix it in position, then solder our input wiring right to the little board inside the adapter. There are three wires going to the head in the adapter. A DC filter or something along those lines. The caps are similar to what a true line out uses sometimes. The tape adapter I have has some caps and resisters in it.so that might have something to do with it too. But there has to be a way to emulate that. When switching to the DIY mod, volume was decreased a bit and almost muffled a tad. The tape adapter provided louder volume, and slightly clearer audio. ![]() I switched back and forth from the DIY mod and the tape adapter, without changing anything else. There HAS to be way to gain the same results but not have the back feed issues while charging. And played great WHILE plugged in to charge. ![]() Played great without being plugged in to charge. I re-soldered the wires back into my tape adapter. Ok.just performed my last test to confirm that the issues Im having are related specifically to the mod. It could be a surface mount like the double din unit. Guessing to make up for being non-monsoon. But there is def some different circuits going on there. This area looks promising.purely a guess by looking at the pins. 4 phillips screws, and another ribbon cable and it comes right out. You really should pull out the tape deck carrier (only way to really see the top of the board), and look for the TA2025 IC chip that is the Preamp. There should still be a pre-amp for the tape player, just might be in a different spot. This might be the first place on the internet were you can compare the inner board of the monsoon deck to the non-monsoon deck actually! I hope the pictures dont disappear like on some of the threads. Then add his pictures to the beginning as an update for the non-monsoon crowd. Unless the last poster can find the chip and get it to work. Maybe the thread title, or firts post should be modified to specify monsoon only. ![]()
