Question
Hi there, I have an advent outdoor wireless speaker and the transmitter has a headphone plug on it however when I plug it in to my reciever the two wired speakers go off. Is there another way that I can hook up this wireless speaker? I do have two open speaker jacks on the back of my reciever. I would like to have the two speakers in the house on as well as the wireless one on in the back yard. Thanks Paul

Answer
Hi Paul-

Looks like I can solve your problem for under $10.  What you need is a 3-way stereo Y adapter. Go to your local audio/electronics store and get something like this (http://www.radioshack.com/sm-4-inch-gold-plated-1-8-stereo-y-adapter--pi-2103870...)

(Don't get the Radio Shack one; it's WAY overpriced!)


I've got about 6 of those daisy-chained together on my stereo...


Hope this helps!
