You will want to isolate Left and Right from each other with either
huge resistor values and/or use an op-amp as an adder, or mixer, to
mix the two together. This is done with an op-amp:

                               10K pot
                           +---/\/\/\/\--+
                           | ccw  ^   cw |
                           |      |      | 
            4.7uF  10K     |      +------+
      left --|(--/\/\/\----+    .  7     |
  CD-player 4.7uF  10K     |   3|\-- +V  |
     right --|(--/\/\/\----+----|-\ 6    |    10uF
                        CA3130 2|  >-----+----|(---- Xmttr
                             +--|+/4 
                             |  |/-- -V
                             |  . 
                             \
                             / 4.7K
                             \
                             /
                            _|_
                             -
Make the feedback pot bigger to get more gain.
