Remove the connection from the volume control 'hot' side (apologies for the use of American Terminology, but I don't know of another way to dufferentiate between the signal and earth terminals). Connect this lead to one of the two leads coming from the 'aux-in' (I use 3.5mm stereo jack sockets for this purpiose), then connect the other to the volume control. Since devices such as MP3 Players, IPods, etc., are stereo and the 112 is Mono, the two channels need to be joined via series resistors of about 1k. The first two illustrations in my original post should show what is involved, and there are other 'sticky' threads explaining the need for the series resistors.
