Aux is just a line input, it could be called 'Line' - however, many cheap systems don't have any external inputs, so you need to ensure you find one that does.

On separates, you would normally have inputs like:

Phono
Tuner
CD
Tape
Aux/Line

With the exception of 'Phono' they are all likely to be identical inputs, and can be used interchangeably.

Brand, as in the makers badge stuck on the front is irrelevant as it is entirely possible that some models in a brand's range could have an Aux in and others not.

Something like this will do the job

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-CMTS20B...dp/B00DMEDXV4/

And it is from a better maker than the Bush system you currently have.
