The proper way to convert a balanced connection to an unbalanced connection (single ended connection) is by the use of a balun. They can be found at your local audio store and cost about $25 to $30.

A balun is a transformer that is used to convert an unbalanced system (a grounded system) to a balanced system (a system not referenced to ground).
