I would like to know how I find out how to wire up a lead for normal
play/record in and out.

I think I can get an 8 pin din to scart and re-wire the scart end but
I dont know which pin does what.

A normal record and playback lead can be contained in a 5 pin din lead
so why 8 ?

Does anyone have this machine ??????
--------------------------------------

It is possible as the other chap said has other functions that work in an
Aiwa system. Like auto rec or play when the tape input is selected.

The Japs in the past also used this type of socket for early remote
controls!

You could always open it up and see where the pins go. Of course this would
need some rudimentry eletronics knowledge.
