Rx-5500LS, questions about DIN IN

Hello!

Recently got this box, have previously made two other posts about it.

I was thinking of using the DIN IN as an AUX and a way of playing music from a Line source (like a phone). From what I gather the DIN IN has a sensitivity of 30mv, and regular line out level typically is around 775mv - 1v. If I play from my phone, will it work given I set the phone volume very low? Will there be problems? Might I need an attenuator in between?

On some boxes I've read that the DIN-IN really is for recording and not playback? Should that be the case of my box, I should be able to use as playback given I press play/record on the deck? Of course, I'd rather not have the motor running unneccessarily.

Also, is there another way of achieving an AUX-in in a more convenient way?

Grateful for all tips and knowledge. I'm not that great with electronics/soldering, but I don't rule out anything! :cool:

You are lucky , just connect the phone to DIN in and set the source switch to DIN in.
If the sound seems distorted turn the volume of the phone lower

Alright, that's good news. I'm having a guy at work looking at it, and examining if theres any internal problems as well. Hopefully everything is okay.
