So far I am very happy with this unit, but have the following questions. I purchased the recommended cable (from the 747V documentation) which is a cable with attenuator. It works fine when I connect from the ext speaker output of the 2010 to the mic input of the 747V. This also allows me to adjust the volume of input to the tape. But when I tried connecting from the tape output of the 2010 to the 747V, no sound ever reached the recorder. Has anybody ever had success using their tape output on the 2010? Do I need a different cable? Would the quality of my tapes be improved by using this output as opposed to the ext speaker output? I think I did see it mentioned in the manual that the output volume of the tape output couldn't be adjusted. This might interfere with the voice activation with a weak signal. Thanks for all insights. -- --- Andy Ross ---
