Problems recording in Stereo with new Microphone

Hello everbody. I'll start by saying that it is amazingly difficult to find any help on how to setup and record with a Stereo Microphone.

recording XLR mic & laptop audio simultaneously on a Marantz PMD661

I'm trying to record an XLR mic and laptop audio simultaneously on a Marantz PMD 661. I am connecting the laptop's headphone jack with the LINE IN2 of the Marantz with a mini-to-mini cable. I have only been able to record the XLR mic but no laptop.

Does anyone have any advice if this is generally possible? And if so, what are the settings to make this configuration possible?
