Easy mark, go to Radio shack website and search 2.5mm audio jack to rca
jack converter.  It ain't fancy.  The one I have has a female 2.5mm end
with a Y split (two wires) male rca red/white connector.  You may also
need a male to male 2.5mm extension if you don't have one.  This is the
set up I have for connecting to the aux of my stereo.  Happy hunting.
