Connecting external speakers or headphones
To attach an external stereo output device:
1 Locate the headphone jack on the front of the computer.
2 Using any necessary adapters, plug the cable from the
external audio device into the headphone jack. The
headphone jack requires a 3.5-mm, 16-ohm stereo jack.
When the headphone is inserted, the internal speakers are
automatically disabled.
Before putting on headphones to listen to an audio CD, turn
the volume dial down, and do not set the volume too high
when using the headphones. Continuous exposure to loud
sound can harm your hearing.
Connecting a microphone
To record high-quality sounds, you can attach a microphone:
1 Locate the microphone jack on the front of the computer.
2 Plug the microphone cord into the jack.
3 Turn on the microphone.
