I'm still in the Dark Ages so am having trouble with the following. I have a set of headphones which I used to plug into my CD player to listen to the music so it didn't disturb anyone. The player suffered an accident so I bought a new one (a Bush) but when I plug the headphones into the Line In socket I don't get any sound. I've queried it with the seller and they say that the socket is for plugging into your phone. Can you no longer buy a CD player that will play through headphones?
As the name suggests, line in is used to play an external source through your CD Player. I am surprised that it doesn't have a headphone output. Do you have a Model Number?
