I have some 1/4" tapes I'd like to transfer from an old Uher 4000 Report
recorder to CD.

Problem is that the "Radio/Phono" connection is a 5-pin din and I'm not sure
which pins (if any) will give me a line-out to feed to a soundcard line in.
There is also a 2-pin "Speaker/Earphone" out, and a mystery 6 pin din out
marked with a triangle (power?).

Any suggestions from Uher gurus?

Well, I had a 4000 Report L until it got stolen.

The 2 pin DIN spkr socket is indeed 'speaker level / earphones'. It's a mini
Class AB circuit running off the battery voltage - 6V IIRC.

I actually replaced it with a ( phone ) jack socket and used that as a low-Z
output. It's just a monitor out - as in playback or monitor input in record
mode. Very handy. The left hand ? level control adjusts the output. The quality
seemed OK as it should be when driving a line input from an AB stage.
