Using Peripheral Devices
Connecting External Speakers
You can connect external sound output devices (not supplied), such as speakers or headphones, to your computer.
Since your computer is capable of outputting digital signals through the
OPTICAL OUT

device such as digital headphones or an AV amplifier to the port and enhance the sound quality of your computer. For more
information, see the manual that came with your S/PDIF device.

OPTICAL OUT
port, you need to change the sound output device. For the detailed instructions,
