The line input is mainly for CD turntables, iPods, etc. I believe there's some sort of internal difference between the two (phono/line).
Phono input is designed to take up to a few millivolt signal from phono pickup and amplify it. The amplifier stage also does some equalization based on standardized RIAA curve. That RIAA equalization is used in the playback to reduce the high pitch noise and maximize bass dynamics in the phono playback. The audio material which is rocorded to the record has been pre-equalized so that the frequency response of the chain from the mixing desk to your speaker will give flat frequency response. These days phono inputs are largely unused because vinyl record players are getting rare. This circuit is a simple converter to convert line level signal (0..1 V) to phono input levels (0..5 mV), which makes it possible to use those inputs as a phono/line input.
i have one last question, it says the vinyl is one minute split? surely if the timecoded parts are split into one minute segments how would you go about mixing a 5 min song?

phew, had me a little worried for a second, but would of been daft tbh!
Cheers
xmas day is gonna be all about trying to get this set up
