Connecting external speakers

You can enhance the sound quality of your computer by connecting external speakers.

To connect external speakers, proceed as follows:

1

Plug the speaker cable (1) into the headphone connector (2).

2

Plug the other end of the speaker cable into the external speaker.

3

Turn down the volume of the speakers before you turn them on.

 

✍

Make sure your speakers are designed for computer use.

Do not place diskettes on the speakers; their magnetic field may damage the data on the diskettes.
