Speakers

(available on select models)

Speaker options depend on which model you purchase. However, the JBL Platinum Series are the standard speakers that come with most new Compaq Presario monitors. You can use the speakers freestanding or mount them to the side of the monitor. For more information, see the documentation that came with the speakers.

To set up the speakers, follow the directions on the monitor Quick Set-Up poster. If you purchased speakers separately, follow the included instructions.
