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
