Hi Sean,

Sony makes a special adapter precisely for what you're trying to do.
It's called the XA-107 Unilink adapter (we list it under
http://www.minidisc.org/part_Cable_Adapters.html ). Unfortunately it's
about $100. You can order it from www.tritronicsinc.com -> shopping ->
consumer login -> part number (enter "XA107", no hyphens). The
description reads "AUX UNILINK INPUT ACTIVAT".
