Can you connect the 2W speaker outputs to the computer Line in jack.
I wish to record some of the FM/AM broadcasts on the computer.

Make sure that you buy a stereo lead/plug to go into the headphone socket as the mono ones look much the same. From memory the stereo headphone plug has two black rings on the pointy bit and the mono plug only has one.

The mic input has nothing to do with it - it goes from the headphone socket on the stereo to the line in on the computer.

Magix is quite a good program for recording using that method. I'm not sure how much it costs.
