This question is not exactly related to this area but I don't know how to start a new section. Can the second-room output be used to feed an audio tape recorder instead of the tape outut jacks? Advantage: effectively being able to tape stuff separate from what you're listening to, as was possible with well-equipped stereo gear. But: (1) Is the signal fixed-level (good) or affected by the volume control (NG)? Also can the phono input be used for this? The manual says "line level inputs" but I don't know why the phono input would be different unless the phono preamp circuits don't feed the second room output, which seems like a pity if true.
