As mentioned in an above post there might not be a signal present at the "record
out" jack when the receiver is set to monitor a device connected to the "record
in" jack. So if you had your CD player connected to the record in jack of the
receiver there would likely not be a signal present at the "record out" jack.
This is to prevent a feedback loop. Meaning... that if your CD player was a
recordable CD deck and it was connected at these jacks you would not want the
output of the CD unit to be fed back to the input of the CD unit. That is bad.
