plugging a portable mp3 player into a line level input

[lollipop]

I have a clarion EQS744 which has an aux input and a main input. I
would like to plug my existing stereo which has a speaker level output
into the aux input.

I would then like to plug a portable mp3 player into the main input
which accepts a line level input.

Do I need an LOC between my mp3 player and the main input?

thanks,

lollipop

I'm assuming the MP3 player doesn't have a line-level output?
Regadless, you shouldn't need a converter, since you can adjust the
volume of the headphone output on the MP3 player to somewhere in the
range that the EQ will accept.

As for connecting the head unit to the EQ, you'll probably need a
line-level converter for that unless the EQ has speaker-level inputs.

great, thanks for the help, that is what I thought but I wanted to make
sure.
