Hope not unless the pot is a discrete one and straight after the input.
You'll get a great deal more than 1v P to P out of many CD players.

I don't really give a shit what players put out I was just stating the
standard. You know what a standard is right?

Yup. But a line level is *not* a maximum of 1v peak to peak.

Is there an output-level standard for consumer audio products (as there
is for professional equipment)? The need for general compatibility keeps
output levels within (probably) a 6dB range, but I know of no official
standard.

Annoying, isn't it? There is a DIN standard - but not sure how valid it is.
Other thing in the UK is some broadcasters on digital mediums peak to the
same as the EBU standard for recording such things - ie peak level set to
-10dBFS. While the receiver maker expects things peaked to 0dBFS. But not
all do this.

New word I coined 12/13/09, "Sub-Wikipedia" adj, describing knowledge or
understanding, as in he has a sub-wikipedia understanding of the situation.
i.e possessing less facts or information than can be found in the Wikipedia.

That sounds like me! I may use your word, which I assume you intend
for the public domain. (I"ve never heard of a private word that was
announced in public.)

I can't find a manual for the STA-19, but the STA-20 manual indicates
that the CD/tape input is a high-level input -- as you would expect it
to be.

The guy is probably an idiot who doesn't understand he needs a cable
with RCAs on one end, and an 1/8" stereo jack on the other.

I know what a standard is and it's not the same as what all are.
Unless all happen to meet the standard.
