   Yes.  This will work just fine.  I have a KRC-999 and run my Sony
D-10 into the auxiliary input.  It sounds *great* and it's nice to be
able to equalize the output of the CD player.  I put a switch inline on
the input switching wire to enable/disable CD input.  Now if I could only
figure out a way to make the input switching automatic...
