How would you go about connecting this to your system?

Presumably with analogue RCA cables.  To be clear, there are no details available for the new Toshiba unit, who knows what it might look like.

The last tape deck that I used did indeed have the cables as recommended by @thumb5.  I still have some in a box of miscellaneous stuff somewhere, I think these are the ones that will provide the authentic 70's / 80's cassette tape sound.   

Of course cassette players, much like turntables, have never fully gone away, take these for example:

I did get very excited yesterday by the thought of some super new technology cassette player, but if all I want to do is play my old tapes, I am sure the battered 80's Yamaha deck I have in the garage will be the best for the authentic sound.

I did have a 70's model with wooden case, brushed stainless fascia and VU's meters, and a Technics DBX super special one, and I cannot remember ever getting rid of them.  I need to tidy my garage and find out if they are still there!  Who knows what might be there?  The Technics deck did run slightly slowly last time I used it though, the joys of analogue!
