hook cd player/stereo up to old reviever?

(I'm really new with electronics so don't make too much fun of me if this is a stupid question) I have an Aiwa stereo (CX-NA555) and an old Marantz reciever (2015) (some info here:

and I was wondering if their was anyway to hook the stereo up to the reviecer so I could play the cd player through the reciever. I know that the reciever dosen't have a cd input obviously, but it has a tape deck input and I was wondering if you could use that for a cd input anyway? The stereo has a cd output on the back that says Digital Cd Output and then (optical). The tape deck input has a L and R channel, and the output just has one. I know you probably can't do this, I was just wondering because I'd like to play it through the old speakers, but also use the old reciever.

thanks :)

Michael's right that this is the wrong newsgroup, although he's wrong about what the right one is.

But the info you need is this:

Yes, you can plug a CD player's analog output into a tape input. Unfortunately, it sounds like your Aiwa doesn't have an analog output, only digital. You cannot plug a digital output into an analog input.

If your Aiwa has any sort of "REC OUT" or "AUX OUT" that is analog (the clue is separate R and L connectors), then that would work. Otherwise you're out of luck.
