It's actually a USB port, you can't do this... it literally just uses the ipod as a mass storage device and can read other mass storage devices like USB sticks.
If I were doing it I'd just get a 3.5mm to RCA stero adapter from the dollar store and plug everything into something like the CD input audio jacks in the back.
That makes perfect sense..thank you. I'l take that advice.
While It doesn't have a dedicated CD input it does have an assignable analog input that can be set to CD. I'll use that one. Again, thanks for the response. Have a great holiday week..Christmas if that applies!
