Looking for a cable

[2canSAM]

I have two device docks that use a 3.5MM Male Stereo Output. I would like to link these to my HT receiver. The cable would be similar to this one just with 2 male 3.5mm leads on 1 end with 2 male RCA (Red/White) on the other.

Is there a question here? Try monoprice.com if you want to order online or Radio Shack if you want a B&M store.

If you have a 3.5MM Stereo Output, why would you need two 3.5MM jacks?

The cable you linked is what you need, it splits the stereo 3.5MM to two mono RCA jacks.

The question is finding this cable. I have tried Monoprice, Radio Shack, and Parts Express with no luck.

So you want to merge the signals from two devices that output to 3.5mm into one input on your receiver?

I have several of these cables.

Monoprice.com or Radioshack for instant use.

BINGO

I assume you looking to connect two separate devices two one channel on the receiver? I would think you would be better off just using two cables and two channels if possible. If not I believe you would need two cables, one like you linked and one of these:

3.5MM Y Cable

He would most definitely be better off using 2 separate inputs on the receiver. Volume will most likely be a major issue as well as static.

Maybe get a composite hub.

You're going to need something more than a cheap cable if you want this to work effectively/safely. It's not quite as simple as it sounds.

That's what I was thinking too. Should work but no way to choose between them if both devices are on.

Thanks for the reply. I will look into using 2 inputs as of right now I have it setup to one input using two of each below and haven't had any issues, I was just wanting to tidy it up some. Both device are MP3 players and are not on at the same time.

You will prolly have to use a y cable to accomplish this. I would suggest looking at http://www.parts-express.com/ for some. It is who I buy all my A/V and networking cables from They have great cables for amazing prices. You may even find the one you need.

If they aren't on at the same time ever it's probably ok.
