Connecting an S/PDIF device

 

Hardware

The S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) port on your computer allows you to transfer audio files to optical

 

 

devices. The advantage is that is does not use the conversion to and from an analog format, which could

 

degrade the signal quality.

 

Please read the documentation provided with your optical device for connection information.

Connecting a microphone

Your VAIO desktop does not contain an internal microphone. If you need to use a sound input device, for example to chat on the Internet, you need to plug in an external microphone.

To connect an external microphone, plug the microphone cable into the microphone connector identified by the symbol .

Make sure your microphone is designed for computer use.
