Try another music sourcesuch as an AM/FM radio with a headphone jack just as a temporary measure to verify if it is the source you are using or the system. And just to clarify any phone system only has a mono input meaning you should be using a 1/8 mini plug that only has 2 wires a +/- red/black striped/solid doesn't matter what color it is you just need the 2 connducters connected to the v/gr pair of the system.

hbiss, I've never had any problems shorting the hots from a headset source but I'll amend my ways.
Thanks for the correction!

OK, catch this - I hooked up the connector that I described above - stereo miniRCA in the CD player, and both gator clips on just the RED RCA out, and connected each gator clip to a different pin on the block - essentially splitting the right channel between the pins - as I think you all told me I needed to do - *no sound whatsoever*.
Hooked the gators to red *and* black RCAs, and the other ends to the respective pins on the block - and I have MOH, just sounds crappy.
Any other ideas?

Here is the cable needed anything else like the one you have linked to above will result in problems you are having https://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103854 If you insist on using the cable you have put one aligator clip on the outside BIG part of the RCA plug and the other clip on the center post and try it that way.

I just want to say a thank you again to Hal for correcting me. I failed to mention something however and that is the technique we use with ipods when we have tied two hots together. We use capacitors to avoid creating a direct short. This appears to work without problems but do you have any concerns about this method? BTW, I'm just one old phone guy who was forced to become PC proficient.
