Looks like amplifier has two input channels. Does that mean I can plug two devices into ampilfier? Can I plug in something like an iPod or iPad (or laptop)&nbsp;into amplifier? Is best arrangement to get a cable that plugs into the iPod/iPad earplug device and then has an RCA lead for other end into amplifier? Could I also put TV audio into the amplifier/speaker system.</p> </span></span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
