Connect CD to Port with Arc surround configuration

Question

I have an Arc, Sub and 2xFives as a surround system for watching movies in the same room.Will adding a Port allow me to listen to CD player via these speakers?  I have seen conflicting posts about Arc and Port compatibility, hence asking the question direct.Yes, I know the Fives have a port allowing CD connection, but the stands block access and they are the wrong end of room.

A Port will allow you to connect any analog source. Even less expensive is an Era 100 + the Line-In adapter. Not sure where you got the incompatibility issue from, but there is a lot of misinformation out there.

The surrounds, any surrounds have the inputs disabled.I'd go Era 100 too.A Connect would work if it was S2 compatible but they are getting old.
