Default Re: Wiring 5-pin DIN to TRS including Record/Play?

Yes, I can imagine a twin TRS setup, but I was wondering whether it's possible to link the left/right record and play to the same TRS. When plugged into a record socket, only the three relevant recording pins would be connected at the recorder, so the play pins would be redundant. Vice versa with the play socket. The trouble would come with whether the unused pins are cut off at the unit in a combined record/play DIN socket, because otherwise I suppose the two signals would cause some confusion, rather like in a stereo-mono cable made without resistors.

Probably Graham's switch suggestion is the best.
