Kenwood KA-72B Stereo Receiver ASSISTANCE REQUESTED.?
PLEASE HELP ME with a vintage Kenwood receiver (KA-72B w/o manual).
I'm trying to help my neighbor with their stereo questions. The
final intention is to copy their collection of vintage cassette
tapes to their new CD(s) with the new Pioneer recorder that
was purchased.
The cassette tapes play fine through the Kenwood receiver
and it appears that the Pioneer recorder is working as well.
The Pioneer CD recorder is now connected to input "A" and
the cassette player is connected to input "B".
Anyone have advice on how to operate the Kenwood receiver
to enable the cassette source (input B) to record on the CD
recorder (input A) ??
GREATLY APPRECIATE assistance in the operation of this
hardware to enable this dubbing operation to proceed.
With harmony.

If the receiver has a "line out," that’s where the CD recorder should be hooked up. If you connect both the CD recorder (a player/recorder, I assume) and the cassette deck to the receiver inputs, you’ll be able to play either tapes or a CD through the receiver, but the only receiver output will be to the speakers.
If you don’t have a line out, you probably can use the headphone jack of the Kenwood to the recorder, but you’ll have to experiment with the volume control to find the right level.
I’m not familiar with the Pioneer CD recorder — will it take a music input and give you an audio CD? Or does it record data files? Big difference.
If this doesn’t help, post a list of the receiver connections marked "output" or "out" and the CD recorder connections marked "in" or "input."
