Just get an adapter from your local RS. Here is a link to the part... http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=274-375 Ok, so it's a y adapter. The key is that it takes a stereo source and splits it to two mono signals. Or the other way around. I would test this before buying if you have a Radio Shack near you. Just get a good separation CD or something to make sure it splits the signal. Then you'll at least the right sound going to the right speaker, so to speak. I would try to avoid getting a plain old y-adapter that just splits a stereo signal into two stereo signals... Paul
