Setting up the Amplifier and Gathering Supplies
Set up your Amplifier and required equipment in one place. Make sure you have access to the back of the amplifier and other equipment.
Plug in the amplifier to the wall outlet or power strip (multiple outlets). This works best if you use an amplifier with 2-prong or 3-prong power inputs so that you won't need so many ports in your wall-outlet.
Connect your CD/DVD player to your cassette deck (recorder). Connect "Audio Out" on the CD/DVD player INTO the "Line IN" on the cassette recorder, using RCA jacks. If red is present but no white, use the red in the red ports and the other color (sometimes black) in the other port. Connect the same colors on BOTH devices.
Connecting the Tape Recorder to the Amplifier
Locate "Line Out" on the tape recorder/player.
Plug in the correct colors, and then feed the unconnected RCA ends into the corresponding "Tape 1" or "Tape 2" inputs on the amplifier.
Remember: Red into Red and the other color into where the 'white' RCA jack would normally go.)
Preparing your Tape and CD
The CD/DVD player setup: Turn on DVD/CD player. Insert disc you want to copy from. Close player and press the "Stop" button on the player (or on remote if available).
The Cassette Tape recorder set-up: Open recording deck (the side where recording can take place, usually the right side deck). Insert blank tape or old tape that you want to record over. (No longer than 90 minutes due to magnetic strips being too thin and wearing out easily during playback).
