MP3 player connections

Can I connect my MP3 player to play through my stereo system, and if so how ?

well that would depend on your stereo system
if like me you have an AUX aka 2 phono plugs on the back of your system, all you need is a standard 2 phono cable to standard headphone plug.
see link of the cable, and connection

note any cable like this will do, dont have to get it from maplins, think i paid £2 for mine, for a cheap local shop
connection should look like this on the back of your stereo

with the jack end going to your mp3 player in the headphone socket
but it depends on your stero system which you didnt name otherwise i could be more precise.
or you might just need a 3.5mm stereo jack to 3.5mm stereo jack.

I've got a cable that's got white, red and yellow connections would having th yellow connection cause problems when using the other two ?

yellow cable would be for video, white and red should be for audio, so not a problem using that as long as the other end is a 3.5mm plug
