I sold a Realistic mini receiver to a fellow who wanted to run a CD
player through it. I did not ask which brand/model CD player that he
has but I told him that the receiver had a 1/8 inch "mini jack" on
front labeled "tape", and regular RCA inputs on back for tape and
phono. His son has a similar model but his input on front is labeled
"CD/Tape". He told me that I mislead him and he cannot use it for
CD. I explained to him precisely what I had, including model number
(he responded to my ad) so I cannot figure out why he could not use
one for running a CD player and not the other?

The model numbers are STA-19 and STA-20. The STA-19 is the one that I
sold him. They look to be virtually identical but with a few slight
changes. Any opinions?



thanks

I can't find a manual for the STA-19, but the STA-20 manual indicates that
the CD/tape input is a high-level input -- as you would expect it to be.

The guy is probably an idiot who doesn't understand he needs a cable with
RCAs on one end, and an 1/8" stereo jack on the other.

No, he said that the output from the CD player was not strong enough
for the tape input.......something like the output of a tape player is
100 times stronger than that of a CD. Or vice-versa. I told him that
there should not be a difference. Oh well.

The output of a CD player is standard 'line level', so should be completely
compatible with any tape equipment. I've been repairing this stuff for a
living for more years than I care to remember, and I don't think that I've
ever come across any combination of CD output and tape input, that will not
match one another for level. The guy is doing something wrong ...

He might not know the difference between the tape input and tape
output. Tell him to:
1. Turn the input selector switch to tape.
2. Plug the cable into the tape *INPUT* jacks.
3. If that doesn't work, try one of the other inputs, such as AUX.
