The CLtd pass thru is terrible.  Consider the following connecting the CLtd
creates one junction, connecting the pass thru creates a second junction, and
connecting the expansion box to the pass thru creates a third junction, 
finally if there is a memory board that plugs into a slot inside the box you
get a fourth junction for digital signals to try to pass through.  Its 
extremely unlikely that you will be able to get anything to work off the
pass thru.
