I've misplaced the manual to an AIWA NSX-5777 music centre.

What is the purpose of the Line Out sockets, is Line Out an
unamplified signal as opposed to the various speaker outputs which I
assume are amplified.

Line out sockets are just that: signals at line-level meant to transfer the signal
from the box they're on to another box that does something with the signal.
You can power very small very efficient speakers with that signal, but the level is
fixed and not meant for driving a speaker.

Why would you do that?
