... then Will gives an excellent suggestion for feeding the CD through
the tape deck into the amp.  Thank you!  But ...

This is really a "cassiever."  Surprise!  And it really is an Onkyo,
unless someone is counterfeiting the Onkyo name plate.

So there is no external tape deck, no inputs for a second tape deck (no
dubbing), and of course it's a lousy idea to try to use the phono input
for the CD.  What I'm going to have to try to do is bring an input out
to the case ... perhaps I can lift the tuner input from the selector
switches on the front and bring it out to my own switch, where I can feed
the CD as alternative.  Any other suggestions?

I must say you all really came through on my original inquiry.  Thank you
very much for that!
