You can play .wav sound files or audio CDs using the built-in
speakers, headphones, or external speakers. You can use your
computer to record sounds using an optional external
microphone.
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 headphones or a pair of external stereo
speakers.
Before using headphones to listen to an audio CD, turn the
volume dial down. Playing the CD with the volume set too
high could damage your ears.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Use amplified speakers that require an
external power source. Other types of speakers will be
inadequate to produce sound from the computer.
To play back sound files through headphones or external
speakers:
1
Locate the headphone jack on the computer.
2
Using any necessary adapters, plug the cable from the
headphones or external speakers into the headphone jack.
The headphone jack requires a 16-ohm stereo mini jack.
To adjust the volume:
❖
For external speakers, use the volume controls located on
the speaker(s).
