Be aware that there's a 5V DC component on the LineOut pin, which you'll 
need to block (use a 400nF cap or greater), this is an undocumented 
"feature" of both the 565 and 566 Orions - confirmed by TT-technical 
dep. but not published by them, which is a shame, many users have been 
thrown by this.
