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 jk15r_bw74r_jk17t.jpg

    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
