Connecting to the Stereo Line-Out/Headphone Jack

When connecting a device to the stereo line-out jack:

■Use only a 3.5-mm stereo plug.

■Use 32-ohm headphones and at least 8-ohm external speakers for best sound quality.

The stereo line-out jack disables the computer speaker when an external audio device is plugged into the jack.

ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, turn down the volume control before putting on headphones.

ÄCAUTION: To prevent possible damage to an external device, do not plug a single line sound channel (monaural) connector into the stereo speaker/headphone jack.
