Apple 6400 appendix Connecting headphones

Connecting headphones

You connect headphones to the headphone jack (f) on the front of the computer or to your monitor if it has a headphone jack.

If you use the headphone jack on your monitor: When you plug headphones into the headphone jack on your monitor (if your monitor has one), sound comes through your headphones but, depending on the type of monitor you have, it may also continue to come out of the subwoofer. To stop this, plug your headphones into the headphone jack (f) on the front of the computer, not the headphone jack on the monitor. However, if you prefer to plug the headphones into the monitor, silence the subwoofer by manually turning down the subwoofer balance control (Ï) on the back of the computer all the way. Also, when you’re finished using the headphones, remember to turn it back up.

Note: You may also want to disable 3D Surround Sound in the Monitors & Sound control panel if you are listening through headphones.

3D Surround Sound does not always work through headphones. To disable

3D Surround Sound, open the Monitors & Sound control panel in the Control Panels folder in the Apple (K) menu and click the checkbox to remove the checkmark next to “Enabled.”

Adjust headphone volume here.
