I received an ad from Sears with my monthly bill. The ad was for an All In One Stereo System. AM/FM Radio, Turntable, Double Cassette Deck and a CD Player. These units don't normally have in-put or out-put jacks. Could this unit be connected to a computer for burning CDs from vinyl albums or is the signal too strong from the speaker jacks?

Roger, I would NEVER use the speaker outputs. If you are REAL careful with volume levels, in a pinch you can get away with using the headphone output, but this is not generally recommended. I think that if your intended use of the stereo includes transferring music, then this unit is no bargain, regardless of price.

Look at the way "Peavey" dose their line out jack on just about any of their amps. It consist of just 2 resistors. (4 resistors if you need stero) I made up a adapter by useing 2 female stero jacks and wireing in the resistors. That way, you can use a stero cable out of the headphone jack,to the adapter,then to the computer or other recording devise. Mark the end of the adapter that goes to the headphone jack with red tape or something. Should you reverse the adapter, it will distort a bit but will not hurt the input device. You will know if it's backwards. Works great !! I use it for the computer and when I'm doing tapes with sound traks. I use a small mixer to mix the stero traks and my "Profex II" stero output to another tape recorder.
