Update. The lead from the tablet into the AIWA Ronnie showed me works
fine.
I have a loan of the Sony speakers, and have set it up independently of
the pi or squeezebox. I am keeping my eye out for the original speakers,
my ears arent what they were but this is the only way to judge the sound
Your photo of the back showed 4 - 8 Ohm so 6 is fine.

will let you use your phone (if it has a headphone connector) to play
into the Aiwa
It would also work from a raspberry pi AV Jack,
Also ... output from the MC is probably via Tape Rec rather than Tape
Play ... assuming that the "Tape" in question was expected to be an open
reel tape recorder or similar (given that it has a cassette deck built
in).

Looks like the output from it would come from the line level output on
the tape out connectors (or the 5-pin DIN - which might be lower
level).
You would then feed that into something like the Behringer UC202 so that
you have the signal as USB which the RPi can consume.
The challenge then is

In conjunction with the new thread I started as i now have the machine
which is on the way, as Ronnie says from looking at the manual, here is
also photographs of the back.
I also need to consider new speakers too, if I get some, as I understand

Thanks to everybody for the info. I didn't win the music centre, to be
honest, because there was no guarantee it was working I put a ceiling on
it and missed out by the massive sum of £1
But, now I know it will connect and can be made operational, I will keep
my eyes open and have put it into my

I have never heard of DIN level before. You learn something new here

A modern cable should contain the necessary resistors I would have
thought.

Indeed. I expect anything costing more than the one you posted would be
a snake oil solution
Some amplifiers used to run DIN sockets at line level. That caused a few

Ahh - I know exactly what you mean now - I used to have a tape deck
(portable type) that had that 5 pin connector.
I bought a cable that plugged straight in and had RCA leads

It is more expensive than yours but still on the foothills as far as
cables are concerned, e.g.
This -
I have a HiFiBerry Dac+ Pro connected to an amplifier with DIN inputs.
I used this cable:
https://soundsheavenly.com/naim/119-532-stereo-rca-twin-phono-to-5-pin-din-input-naim-quad-meridian-etc.html#/2-length-1m
Good quality and much cheaper than Flashback cables.

If it works, all you would need would be the correct cable, a hat (with
volume control) on the pi, and speakers, there are adapters

The music center only has a 5 pi din aux input, so needs a special cable
.

Am I missing something here? (must be!) - Classics/Duets and Touches
have RCA outputs.
I have one connected to an old Technics amp.
Do you mean something else? :confused:
Tony.
13 x Classic / 4 x Boom / 2 x Touch / 2 x Radio / 3 Duet / 3 Controller
/ W10 LMS 8.0.0
That is correct info, I remember now. Because it was a music centre, it
didn't need inputs, all it had was an AUX.

Hey Steve, they don't show the rear of the system in the shots, you
could always ask.
Anyway I found the model ont'internet and it seems to have one din input
/output marked
Rec / play
aux / ext tape/
I haven't messed with dinplugs since I had an Armstrong 626 (or 625, I
can't remember) in
Usually those 2 pin plugs were for output to a speaker not input from an
Aux source.
A 5 pin DIN was fairly common - e.g. for a stereo tape recorder
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_connector
Also - SB2/3 has Analogue output via 2 phono sockets - which you can
plug into an old amplifier -
Other points are, this music centre is old analogue, so I suppose what
I'm asking is will a SB work because of being digital, even with the
raspberry pi ?
And of course, it says in the advert that it is untested so they can't
guarantee it works, but I think I would take a punt on that providing

Image of these old plugs? If they are typical RCA plugs, answer is yes. A
Raspberry Pi with an add-on audio card like the HiFiBerry DAC (
https://www.hifiberry.com/dacs/) provides RCA output. Use piCorePlayer as
the software on the RPi and you're good to go.

Hello is there any way you can rig up a squeezebox to an old 1970's
music centre with old style 2 pin phono plugs ? Or is the digital -
phono conversion a non starter.
Quick reply needed please.
The speakers also would be a problem with old connections, but I would
deal with that one later.
