Line out is to feed to another appliance - in this case since it has
an input for Mini-Disc then it is safe to assume that the output is
intended to permit recording of whatever source is selected on the
music centre.

Indeed.

MD is an line-level input for a MiniDisc.
Line-Out connects to the pins of a chip which are labelled 'rec out'.

I did numerous searches and couldn't find a thing :-(((

Problem donloading though, the instruction says 'Attention! This
manual is multipart. Download all, before decompressing' but the
download only says Part1 and a RAR extension, whatever that is.

There are two parts to the document.

AIWA-NSX-A777-S777-A767.part1.rar
AIWA-NSX-A777-S777-A767.part2.rar

download the first by clicking the link "To download the file, please,
click here"
download the second by clicking the '1' link next to the word
"Multipart:" and then do the same.

Go here for the Unrar.exe utility, which will turn the two files into a PDF.

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?

Convenience at the moment, I am not in a position to use the supplied
larger speakers so the line out can go to some small computer type
active speakers.

The amp gives the convenience of being able to also connect the MP3 or
mini disk player.

Line out is a low level signal taken from the circuit before the main
amplifier; it is expected that the signal quality will be good and suitable
for plugging into Line In inputs on amplifiers, etc, to give good quality
signal. The other usual output is the headphone socket where the signal
quality is low. Only decent kit has Line In and Line Out sockets.
