An iPOD output is headphones, .. and unless they're using something really
special it should be OK with any high-impedance input.
You should be able to get a 3.5mm phone jack adapter to 2 RCA for right &
left, so the only problem will be connecting those outputs to your stereo.
Dime sized doesn't sound like inputs, however (unless they are actually
1/4" phono jacks??), .. is there an 'AUX' or 'EXTERNAL' input selector? If
not, you're SOL unles you want to break into the system and install input
jacks.
I assume your 'dime sized' connectors are on the back? Can you send a
closeup pix of the panel (directly if the list doesn't do attachments)?
