Philips D8469/10 aux in

[Freakersea]

Hi there

New to the forum, have just got hold of my first mini Boombox a philips D8469/10. I was hoping to link my iPhone 6 up through the aux in port to play Spotify, I have tried rca to 3.5m jack in the headphone socket and also a 3.5m jack to lightning adaptor without success. I can’t find any buttons or switches specifically to engage the aux, is there anything obvious I am missing?

On some of these magnavoxes you have to put a tape in and press record and that allows the signal to pass through. Or you can just open the deck put your finger on the record tab press record and then close the door.

Welcome to forum.
You can try to this:
You must connect phone to LINE IN jacks.
Mode switch to TAPE position.
Insert cassette. Push pause button, and rec + play buttons.
You must hear music from your phone now.

Thanks but no luck with any combination of the above, the phone is certainly acknowledging the jack or lightning adaptor as ‘headphones’ but I am not getting sound through it, all radio channels are fine and sound great, tape deck appears to be working, fast forward rewind etc.

Is the button next to the tape select some sort of source switcher?

If the cassette player works you can try a bluetooth cassette adapter . They are pretty cheap.

Did you get succeeded ?


You are ucing RCA to 3.5m Jack, in some case it is failed. For a case, 3.5m jack used for Apple devices doesn't suit with Android devices. So you check first the RCA port work. Try with connecting RCA male+ male type cable and connect directly to audio any equipment . If that is okay, then you are safe, check with Android devices to see that's work. If both are works, you need a new cable to match apple devices.

Hope This may help you.

I suspect that a higher end (or different region) model had the aux in but yours somehow ended up with the connections, but not the switch. i'd get a hold of a wiring diagram and go from there.

The bluetooth cassette is the easy way to go though.

Sometimes this only works with recording to the tape and not for playback. Especially if it doesn't have a function switch for Aux.

There is a workaround you can connect to the tape head wiring using a voltage divider.
