You may need to turn down the volume on the cassette player in addition to using an atenuated patch cord. Such patch cords are usually available at Radio Shack. Btw, most patch cords have a male connector at each end and those connectors would normally be referred to as a "plug," not as a "jack."

It's used when the device you're sending the signal to needs a lower level than is being output by the other device.

I have a cord that has a jack on each end. These jacks fit the recorder headphone jack and the mic jack on my laptop.
