Thanks Jerry,
But I've tried that too.. No matter which of these mutually-
exclusive record controls I choose (LINE IN, MIC, AUX or whatever)
with the MD pluged into the PC's LINE IN, the problem persists. MD
sound comes out through the speakers, but the REC signal is absent.
Thank you anyhow,
Daniel
