Is it possible to hook up a jukebox to a home stereo?

I'm buying ceiling speakers and a stereo soon for my arcade. I have a Rock-ola princess 467 juke and was wondering if it's possible to hook it up to the stereo so it plays both from the juke speakers and the ceiling speakers?

Is there anyway to have house music playing on my stereo from a mp3 player and when a song is played on the juke it switches to the juke channel? When no more songs are playing on the juke it switches back to house music.

I know nothing about audio equipment so any help pointing me in the right direction would be very much appreciated.
 
The one board is for when a common set of speakers is shared between two amplifiers. This is commonly used when a set of ceiling speakers are shared between a jukebox and the amplified output of a background music/pa system as an example. The jukebox internal speakers would remain silent if the background music system is playing through the external speakers. When we had jukebox locations that wanted their sound system (usually a background music system) played through the external speakers connected to the jukebox, this is the board we used 99% of the time.

The other board is used for audio "line level" signals such as feeding the line level signal from another sound source (such as an ipod or radio tuner) into the jukebox amplifier. So when the jukebox is NOT playing, the audio from a radio will be coming out of all the speakers connected to the jukebox as well as the speakers inside the jukebox.

In general, you will want one board or the other depending on what you want to do. We almost never used the line level board. Both of these boards will work with any make/model of jukebox.

Printed instructions come with each of the boards.
