Title: RCA out >mini in signal flow
Post by: hurrysundown on February 07, 2011, 02:57:56 PM

I wanna go RCA out(DAT) to a mini in (Sony M10).  both analog  >:D  Most consumer packaging on this type of cable says it goes from 1/8" mini out to RCA in.  Is there a difference in signal path direction?  Or is a cable is a cable a cable.  Sorry for such a basic question and thanks for your input(or output)

Right RCA Tip > Ring 1/8
Left RCA Tip > Tip 1/8
Left & Right Shield > Shield 1/8
