Title: CD ---> Cassette, in car
Post by: PS2_-'_'-_PS2 on December 03, 2004, 04:05:50 PM: Just got an in car adapter that says i can play and CD, MD, MP3 player through the cassete deck in my car. Ie there is a cable coming from a tape out to the headphone jack of my MD player, problem is it doesnt work (as u detectives out there probably guessed)

Dont know any details about the MD ---> cassete adpater but my MD player is a Sony Hi-MD MZ-NH700, any reasons why this woudnt work?

It cant be becase the MD player is Hi-MD, all it is is sound out put from the MD player - i mean i use normal headphones to listen to the MD player.

Are you sure you have the volume turned up a little bit on the player?

Yeah, if your headphones work then it\'s your adapter.

btw welcome to the mid 90\'s
