How to connect DJ player to laptop?

Some check questions: is it correct that you want to have your Platinum FX as an input for your laptop, to stream/record it in OBS Studio?
Do you mean that there's one (mini)jack connector combining microphone and headphones, that's the only plugging option? How about USB?
Here are some details...
Actually I want to stream my audio from Dj player to Facebook. I need to configure OBS correctly to do so.
My Numark Dj player has Cinch cable (please look at Pic 3) and is conected to the laptop by jack (look at Pic 2).
When I insert the jack to my laptop a menu pops up where I can choose between Microphone input, Headphones and Speakers (look at Pic 1 - it's in Polish). How should I set up OBS to stream audio from my Numark Dj player to my laptop?

Please do not make that connection, it can harm your laptop. The RCA or Cinch outputs are meant for connection to an amplifier, audio mixer, recording device etc. The voltage of that signal is way higher than microphone level that your laptop expects.
Actually, I was asking about the laptop's possibilities. According to this Numark User Guide the USB port is meant for connection to a computer (source).
After connecting via USB: have it installed correctly under Windows first, so make sure you can hear it via the internal speakers, or headphones. (Sometimes after plugging in a usb device for the first time, it will take a few moments...)
Within OBS Studio: add an Audio Input Capture source to your scene(s). At the properties of the source, at device: select your Platinum FX.
You are right, I have removed cinch cable. Now my Numark is connected to laptop only via USB cable.
The problem is that I don't hear the sound coming from Numark in laptop's speakers. I checked the speakers after removing wrongly connected cinch cable - they work fine. Is it a matter of laptop sound control panel?
