Using external speakers or headphones

Your computer is equipped with a full stereo sound system with internal speakers. Instead of using the internal speakers, you can connect an external audio device to one of the jacks on the front of the computer. These jacks and the types of audio devices they support are:

❖Optional headphone and S/PDIF jack

This jack lets you connect either an optical digital audio- out cable (optional) directly to your digital stereo receiver port or a stereo headphone (16 Ohm minimum).

NOTE

❖

The optional headphone and S/PDIF jack is used for both the headphone and S/PDIF functions. You can use only one function at a time.

Audio out jackThis jack lets you connect a pair of external stereo speakers.

When you connect an optical digital audio-out cable (optional) directly to your digital stereo receiver port or stereo headphone jack, the internal speakers of your computer are disabled.

Before putting on headphones to listen to an audio CD, turn the volume dial down. Do not set the volume too high when using the headphones. Continuous exposure to loud sound can harm your hearing.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Use amplified speakers that require an external power source. Other types of speakers will be inadequate to produce sound from the computer.
