Wire in 3.5mm straight - yes or no?

[Gravaviel]

I have an unknown model Sansui radio with input / output plugs resembling a Grundig radio.

Pin descriptors are:

1 - TXD

2 - RDX

3 - -+A (CD)

4 - -+U (CD)

5 - GND LINE OUT

6 - GND

7 - Line out RF

8 - Line out RR

9 - Line out LF

10 - Line out LR.

My question: is it possible to directly connect the wires of a 3.5mm jack to the (I'm guessing) #3 and 4 pins without a digital to analog converter, and if it's possible how exactly should I wire it?

I have found a forum post which makes me think it might be possible, however the sales person at a local car audio store said it isn't possible without a convertor (which makes more sense to me).

Nevertheless I'm very hopeful

Thanks and kind regards,

Your going to have to find/give us more information...why do you think you can use those two pins?

I've posted a reply (since I couldn't create the post containing the links) referencing an image of the pin configuration, and a forum post I found where some guy claims he did something similar with a sort-of similar radio, however it is still awaiting a moderator's approval.

In retrospect, I could just give the links without hotlinking -
