Sorry for the late reply, things have been a bit hectic. I quote this
from my web page (which is a quote from the 701/702 manual ;)
(http://minidisc.home.dhs.org/features.htm).

So from this it seems to indicate that one socket does both. God knows
how it decides. I don't know too much about how audio works, so does
line out have a small current on it?
However, I've just linked it up to my computers line in and it didn't
make a wet slap of a difference :(. So I guess it can't. I've also just looked
at the circuit diagram (service manual), and I track the feeds back to a chip
but a) the diagram isn't detailed enough (I NEED MORE ZOOM!) b) I'm no great
electrican ;).
Also OT anyone got a good reference about how the dB scale works?
Share and enjoy,
Peter -> A-Level modular results in two hours ;(. Oh dear. ;)
