QuestionQUESTION: I purchased a Sony (RCD-W500C) to record my albums and cassettes to CDs but have run out of "connections" in the back of my Technics receiver (SA-EX510). Can I use the empty TV or VCR Audio as additional/alternate connections?
Thank you in advance....Nancy
ANSWER: Can you list the inputs/outputs available on the back of the receiver, I can not find my copy of the manual for your model.
Thanks,
Dan

QUESTION: NO - THANK YOU! Hope this makes sense:
CD - Right & Left
TAPE - Record/Out - Right & Left
Play/In - Right & Left
PHONO - Right & Left
TV - Audio - Right & Left
VCR - Audio/Out - Right & Left
Audio/In - Right & Left
TV/DVD - Video - In & Out
VCR - Video - In & Out
I have Phono, Receiver, Equalizer, Cass Player/Recorder and CD Player/Recorder components to connect together. I am NOT using this receiver for our TV/DVD/VCR at all.
AnswerThe VCR input/output jacks are the same as the tape input/output jacks. You essentially have 2 tape decks. The Cassette deck and the new Sony RCD. For the easiest to use, I would connect the cassette deck to the VCR Input/output and the Sony RCD to the tape input/output. That way when you set the receiver for recording to "tape" you are actually recording to the RCD. You are less likely to make a mistake that way. Otherwise you can connect the RCD to the VCR input/output and record to the "VCR". Either method will work as you expect. Just connect them to be the simplest for you to remember.
