Hi again tomm, it looks like the 1068 doesn't have a headphone jack. Normally with the RC-1070, I use the headphone jack and mute the preamp so that no signal is sent to the RB-1080. In the case of the 1068, my guess is that the best thing to do (on the assumption that there is no headphone jack) would be to plug a dedicated headphone amp into the tape out of the 1068 and to mute the 1068 when you want to use the headphones. A dedicated headphone amp will have a volume control.
Hope this is helpful, Ben- Bottom

You could get this headphone converter device from Antique Sound Labs that converts speaker level outputs to headphone level. It has a built-in switch that lets you select output to the speakers or just the headphone jack.

I have no phone amp, just my AKG's. I asked my dealer about this (1068/1075 here too). They suggested buying a "Y" cable and connect to ZONE 2. < $5 @ Radio Shack, and it seems to work fine by me. I set the ZONE VOLUME to VARIABLE, and can adjust on the fly using the 1050 remote.
Sure would be nice to have a DOLBY phone jack for midnight movies though.- Slice- Bottom

When I say CD I actually mean a CD recorder ie. Yamaha HD1300 which has a tape loop so can hear any source through the CD headphone jack.Bits of HT & 2ch Stuff: Rotel, Pro-ject, Oppo, Bel Canto, Elektra Audio, Benchmark, Panasonic, DSPeaker, Epson, Slim Devices, Belkin, Philips Pronto, Harmony, URC, Sennheisser, AKG, HTPC under development, KEF, Whatmough, Definitive Technology & Pardigm Signiture speakers- Bottom

Originally posted by aphexistYou will definitely get sound that way, but your headphones are not designed to accept a line level signal. You will probably notice that you have to crank up the volume and it sounds a bit attenuated and thin. I would suggest trying a cheap headphone amp if you are serious about listening.- Slice- Bottom
