mp3 player to a/v tuner amplifier

[FireBird360on]

Hello everyone.
I have a sansa sandisk e260R and i want to hook it up an a/v tuner amplifier. How would i do that. The only output feature on the mp3 player is a head phone jack. Thanks

P.S if this is the wrong place in the forums please let me know. I am new here

You need a cable with a 1/8" (3.5 mm) stereo mini plug on one end and 2 RCA plugs on the other end. Connect the mini plug to the headphone out of the mp3 player and the RCA plugs to any audio input on the receiver.

where could i find this cable? Radioshack? Also how much would something like this cost? I'm not an audiophile, i just want something that works as both the speakers and a/v amplifier are cheap/old

Yes, Radio Shack sells mini to RCA cables.

Here is one example from their website:http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2456454&cp=&pg=2&sr=1&origkw=stereo+mini&kw=stereo+mini&parentPage=search

In the store they have many more than the ones shown on the website and many that are much cheaper - under $10.
