Recording Freeview Radio
6 Answers
Hope someone here can help or suggest some
other section to post this.
I am having problems trying to record radio
(BBC Radio 7) from Freeview onto a cassette.
System connections are as follows:-
Goodmans GDB6 viewer Audio out connected to
Phono input on amplifier then out again
to cassette deck.
Physically items are stacked(from top)
Freeview box, DVD player, Amp then cassette
deck.
I have found that the signal level is VERY
high and the recorded sound is very heavy
on bass and is 'mushy' and not clear at all.
I do not have any problems recording normal
FM radio using similar method.
Has anyone else seen this effect or found a
way to record Freeview radio channels?
Thanks

It sounds like you are connecting to a PHONO input, which is solely for record decks (which have a very low signal output).
You need to connect your Goodmans into the Amplifiers LINE or AUX input sockets.
If you dont have these, you can actually connect the Goodmans straight into the Cassette recorder inputs and record from there, but you wont be able to listen to the sound on the hifi as it is recording (unless you plug headphones into the cassette deck).
Hope this helps

Thank you Sparky
I used the phono as everything else was used. I had thought about direct to the cassette but that means plugging and unplugging depending on what I am doing. This is also the case with using the Aux/Line but I will give both a try to see how they go.
Thank for the input(no pun intended)

ditch the casette - join the modern world - mp3 is the future - a cd will hold hours and hours and hours of tracks
if you can live without stereo - 36 to 40 hours isn't impossible
a �20 mp3 player and a �10fm transmitter and you can take your stuff anywhere
if your kit has a tuner - you can have fm quality broadcasts booming out of your woofer
