[BNM] Recording from tape [OT]

[Alex]

The headphone out should be stereo although headphone level is lower 
than 'Line' level (i think) so straight from the headphone out to the 
line in should work. Are you sure it's not a 'Mic' input? Mic, again, is 
a lower level than Line although if you're lucky, Mic & Headphone might 
be the same level in which case you should get a decent recording.
