Understanding the sound ports
Your computer has two sound portsÑa sound output port (marked with
-
) and a sound
input port (marked with
X
). Use these ports to connect audio devices.
The sound ports accept a connector called a stereo mini-plug , the same kind of connector
used to connect headphones to a personal stereo. If an audio device has a different kind of
connector, you can buy an adapter at an electronics store.
Connecting an audio device
To play or record sounds, connect an audio device to your computer.
■
If you want to use your computer to work with the sound produced by a device like a
microphone, CD, or tape player, attach it to the sound input port.
■
If you want to use a device such as a tape recorder or external speakers to work with
sound produced by the computer, attach it to the sound output port.
A device that can both record and play (such as a tape deck) can be connected to both the
sound input and sound output ports.
The following section gives general instructions for connecting an audio device. If you plan
to connect a microphone or external speakers, read ÒConnecting a microphoneÓ on page 53
or ÒConnecting external speakersÓ on page 52 later in this section.
