Connecting your Archos™ 104 to a stereo system allows you to listen to your Archos™ 104’s music on it without
a headset. You will need a standard (mini headphone to RCA) audio cable for this which is not supplied with the
Archos™ 104. The diagram below illustrates the setup. Plug the audio cable into the headphone jack and into the
auxiliary jacks on your stereo. Note that this is only a schematic representation of a stereo. If in doubt, the manual
of your stereo will enable you to identify the auxiliary inputs.
