Although I can play 8-tracks just fine through the amplfier, I am unable to record them on the cassette deck. I would have thought that since I have the input jacks still connected onto the dual cassette deck that I would be able to record the 8-tracks, but no such luck. Any suggestions? Thanks!
:I have a Scott amplifier Model RS 250 with a Model DD660 dual cassette deck. Recently, I purchased a Pioneer Centrex TH-30 8-track stereo deck; my plan was to record my favorite 8-tracks onto cassette by disconnecting the output leads from the dual cassette deck and connecting them to the output of the 8-track.

"Tape Monitor" puts the signal in series with the cassette deck preamp.
Yet another option is to look for the jumpers in the back( someotimes a short short pair of wires with an RCA connector on both ends, or a loop of heavy wire connecting two RCA jacks), when you remove those jumpers, you can plug your cassette deck there (following the In to out and out to in) and that now mkaes the "Tape Monitor" connection without switching, but you will always have to have the cassette deck on, and in "Record mode" to hear anything at all out of the stereo itself.
:Hi,
:You may have one pair of leads connected incorrectly. "Outs" always need to connect to "Ins", and "Ins" always need to connect to "outs". If this condition is met, and your casette deck "input" is connected to "Line Out" and you still are not getting a response when trying to record, look for the "Tape Monitor" switch, and jacks in the back. If you connected the cassette to these connections and are not getting a record response, you may just need to look at where your "Tape Monitor" switch is set at, and then switch that on- Most of the time when you do not have the tape deck ready to record, you get minimal volume out of the amp- This is where the amp is actually taking it's input signal from the tape deck output so that you can hear if your record level is too high, or too low.

I have found another solution. I bought a Toshiba AM/FM/SW with cassette deck at an auction today. It has auxilary jacks. I've already plugged in the 8-track to the auxilary jacks and made a sample recording onto cassette. It works!
:Hi,
:I forgot to mention that "Line Out" is the line level output from the preamp stage (parallel to the signal going to the driver stage), and most often connected to a cassette deck input. If you connected the 8 track to "line out", you can connect your cassette deck to the "line out" instead, or, if you can adjust your record levels, you could even just connect the line level output of the 8 track to the "Line In/Record In" of the cassette deck.
