You need a contrivance known as a "TRS splitter" - a stero jack plug 
on one end, and two mono sockets on the other, with the tip and ring 
sent to one of each of the sockets. You then run mono cables from 
your PCY10 and TP65 and plug them into the mono sockets on the 
splitter, and plug the stereo jack plug into 9/10.

Alternatively, you can get splitters with a stereo plug on one end 
and two mono plugs on the other, so you can then plug the stereo end 
into 9/10 and the mono ends into the two pads. However, these tend to 
(a) be quite short, and (b) have flimsy cables on the mono ends. I 
have one and gave up on it. The other way is more flexible.
