The port replicator can be powered only with the AC adapter supplied with your computer. Do not remove the AC adapter from the port replicator or the AC outlet when using the port replicator; this may cause data damage or hardware malfunctions.

When video cables are connected to S-Video out and Video out simultaneously, only the S-Video out connector can be used.

To connect an external audio source (such as a CD player), proceed as follows:

Connect your audio device's left and right audio cables into the right (6) and left (6) audio in connectors.
