Sony mini-set PMC-DR45L line out questions

I have a question about " line out " output .....................

This little unit has a front " line-out " , and a " l/r line out " on the back.

The back connectores are used to connect the control-part to the amplifier-part of this mini set ( thus connecting the 2 units together , the amplifier is mounted in the second unit ) .

What i would like to have ( wishes ) is a second set of line-out connectors to give this little unit the possibility to use it with a second-set of powered speakers.

The real question is ;

-- Will it be possible to mount a second set of line-out connectors to the excisting set on the back , ( and how ).

-- Second question , will the front mounted line-out cut-off the speakers which are IN the unit ?? so this will be for the readers which own a unit like this .

thanks for your advice

Probably the easiest thing to do would be to get a set of Y cables and connect them to the back line output and the two inputs you need to drive. Connecting one line-level output to two inputs is not a problem at all. (Connecting two outputs to one input is a poor idea, on the other hand.)

If connected to the line output, the car converter would not work very well and possibly not at all. If connected in place of the existing speakers, it ought to work, but the Y cable on the line output will give better sound quality and should cost a bit less, too.

I believe those adapter boxes are little more than a little resistive divider network designed to present a (relatively) low impedance to the power amplifier output and reduce the voltage to approximately the usual line input voltage. I would imagine a large power amplifier could pretty easily burn one out if driven hard, but I wouldn't expect that to be a problem with a typical small bookshelf stereo system.
