Hello,

I have a Logitech internet radio (a radio that allows you to catch web radios via wi-fi) with 2 outputs: one labeled "line-in" and another with a headphone logo.

I was wondering what differentiates these 2 jacks in terms of use, knowing that I connected a jack plug and it fits into both jacks.

I connected some PC speakers to this radio, and when connecting the jack cable to the "line-in" jack, no sound comes out, whereas sound is normally transmitted to my speakers through the headphone jack.

Ultimately, what is the purpose of the "line-in" jack?

Thank you in advance for your response.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 43.0

Hi,

Line IN is an input, not an output.
