Connecting Port to existing stereo system

I have four Play 1s, working in stereo, in 2 rooms. I also have 80s vintage Onlyo TX-840 amp that powers a phono, a CD player, and two sets of hard wired speakers in 2 different rooms. I got a Port and have lined it into the Onkyo, and can now get Sonos content in all 4 rooms. But how do I line the stereo into the Port so I can listen to records and CDs in all four rooms? I get that I could line either the CD player or the phono into the port, but how do I do both? Do I need to get a splitter or something and run cables from the CD and Phono, to the splitter, to the Port and then into the Onkyo amp?

Does your Onkyo have tape connections like in this picture:

Tape OUT to Port IN, Port OUT to TAPE IN would than be my advice.

Would an audio switch like this work?

Maybe - It’s weird that I cannot find any Sonos directions on this though …..
