Trying to link up a Cassette Deck with an AVR Receiver

[SMD1979]

I currently have a DENON AVR-X2600H Receiver and a TEAC Double Cassette Deck W-1200 and I am struggling how to connect both devices. Please can anyone help?

You may not have a tape monitor loop, which is ideally what you need.

Does the receiver have line out sockets? However, if you’re only playing existing tapes (rather than recording) then the outputs from the cassette machine can go to any auxiliary or CD input on your Denon.

If yours is similar to this 2800 model then there’s an aux and a CD input that will work for replaying cassettes.

No fixed level output though, so recording may be tricky.
