1-10 Introducing Your Computer
Audio connectors
These connectors come integrated on all models. The
connectors include microphone in, line in, and line out
jacks.
The microphone in jack lets you connect a
microphone for recording audio information in your
data system files; allows hands-free speakerphone
functions.
The line in jack lets you connect a stereo audio
device such as a stereo amplifier or a cassette or
minidisc player for playback or recording.
The line out jack allows you to connect an output
device such as powered speakers, stereo tape
recorder, or an external amplifier for audio output.
If you ordered speakers with the system, use this
jack to connect the speakers to your system.
