Yamaha P2201 Connections

Hello,
I'm going to be using the Pre Outs on my Kenwood Integrated to connect a newly-acquired P2201 Power Amp. I don't think I want to use the XLR's. I know that there are two 1/4" "headphone" jacks for each channel in addition to the XLR's...how do I make the connections from the RCA Pre Outs?

This is only a stop gap measure until I find a Yamaha control amp and tuner to round out my system. I realize that the Kenwood integrated will limit the benefits of the extra power to a certain extent but I'm hoping the extra power will improve sound incrementally in the meantime.

Thank you for your help.

Al,
Many thanks for your help! My Kenwood, BTW, is a KA-5002, ca. 1971. It seems to have a nice phono section. Later this year as funds allow I'd like to get hooked up with a C-85 control amp, or similar.

Unless of course my friends talk me into going "down the tubes." ;-)

Just so that I understand correctly-
I will only have one RCA coming from each of the two preouts on my preamp.

On the P2201 I see 2 XLR jacks- one male and one female- and 2 1/4 "headphone" jacks for each channel. Do I only need to use one? Which one would I use?
