Laptop to receiver

[OlyPerson]

So I want to be able to hook up my laptop to my receiver that I have in my room that I use to play records on also. Is there something that I can get to make my laptop able to play on it?
I was thinking something connecting the headphone jack to the red and white things on the receiver would work? Not sure, anyone have any ideas?
Would something like this work?

By the way, I have this receiver: http://www.classic-audio.com/marantz/2226b.html

Your link to the Newegg page didn't work, but I have something similar for my receiver. I use a 3.5mm Stereo Plug -> 2 RCA Plug cable from Monoprice: link (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021804&p_id=665&seq=1&format=2). Connect the one end to your headphone jack on the laptop and the other end to the red/white Line-in on your receiver.

You need a minijack to RCA cable and you'll be fine. If it doesn't sound good you should consider an external soundcard. But I believe that conneting the laptop to an input of the receiver won't cause you much trouble. Just remeber: Minijac to RCA. And make sure it is stereo (It will have 2 RCA plugs)

I've used just about every method of connecting an audio source to my receiver. The first thing I tried was hooking up my MP3 player to my receiver via 3.5mm jack for headphones, which was attached to a converter to fit in the headphone-out jack on my receiver. It actually worked, but don't ask me how that's possible. I used the same for my computer.

Then I tried a headphone jack to RCA (red/white) and that also worked.

Since then, I've done a bit of upgrading and settled for digital coax then optical toslink.

When you reach the state of having even a digital amp you should make a tree displaying all the phases you went through to get there :D :p

If I made a tree I'd probably hang myself from it.
