well i know like i had a old crappy mp3 player but its connector was a usb on the other end. and i notice the aux on this is a round connector. what type of wire connection would i need to go from the mp3 player to the reciever?

That's just a standard 1/8th audio connector , its like the end of your headphones. You buy a 1/8th male to male cable and plug one end into the stereo aux and the other end into your mp3 player headphone jack. All it does is send the audio from the mp3 player to your receiver, no controls etc.

yah, make sure you get a 'stereo' 1/8" male to male (or 3.5mm).

in the music world we call it a male to male 1/8" TRS connector.
