Connecting to portable and home audio devices

• Desktop or laptop personal computer

To connect to a home stereo system that has a ¼-in. (6.3 mm) stereo output jack, use the ¼-in. (6.3 mm) stereo adapter plug included with your headphones.

Plug the headphone cord into the stereo plug adapter and insert it into the output jack on your stereo system.
