There are some differences of opinion as to which plug goes into which 
socket. One plug goes into the EARPHONE socket, and the other goes into 
either the MIC or AUX socket. The thin plug you have correctly identified as 
the motor control.

I don't think I have a doc for the CCR-81 here, but I'll check on that.

YES. You need to press both the RECORD (red) button and the PLAY button on 
the tape player.

If you can hear the sound from the tape player, you don't have the plugs in 
the correct sockets, unless your player was modified in some way.
