Hi people. Just bought a D32 and have a Sony cassette deck with only ear and mic on, can I load up with this? Also came with a cassettw cable with 1 black and 2 grey ends, which end goes where? Also, do i need to turn the volume up on the tape deck?

A Cassette deck with EAR & MIC connectors is enough, you don't need the REM one.
The cable has a little black jack, this is the REM plug, forget about it. The other two are the EAR and MIC. If you don't have a multimeter there's no easy way to know which one is EAR; so simply try both and try to load something. The volume usually at 3/4 gives good results.

The large jack with the black wire should go in the EAR socket, the large jack with the grey wire goes in the MIC or AUX socket (if you have a choice go for AUX).

To check that you have connected the right cable to the EAR socket type SOUND ON (no need to type MOTOR ON if the REM plug is not used) on the Dragon and play a tape - preferably a music or spoken word tape, unless you like to listen to the screech of program tapes in which case set the TV volume to low.
