Using Tape 1or2 Input on Pioneer SX-1980

[In The 21st Century]

Howdy folks! I have here a Pioneer SX-1980 receiver. The problem is that I only have one AUX input to spare, and I need another input for my Rose streamer. Since there aren’t two AUX inputs available, can I use one of the TAPE-1 & TAPE-2 for the streamer without causing any harm to the receiver? Please let me know if this is a safe alternative. 🤔

The only difference between the two is the name on the front panel, electrically those inputs are identical.

Just to clarify the above, all THREE inputs (AUX, TAPE1 and TAPE2) should be electrically identical, and yes you can use them w/o concern.
