To stop it jumping you need to increase the weight located on the end of the arm slightly then test play a record, if it jumps you increase the weight again slightly and test again. Repeat till it stops. If it rumbles decrease the weight.
As for the sound. You need to find out if the deck uses a magnetic cartridge or some other type. If it uses a magnetic cartridge it will have to be connected to an amp with a Magnetic Cartridge Pre-amp built in. Or you will need to purchase one (pre-amp that is) if it has not got one. This can be then be plugged into a standard jack socket.
If it does not use a magnetic cartridge, don't put it one marked for "phono". Instead put it in a tape, aux or cd socket.
