Audio Cable
(optional)
- If you have a sound card and
speakers, and would like to play audio CDs on your
computer, you will need to install a CD/DVD audio cable.
Toshiba's Combo drives use a standard 4-pin audio
cable that can be purchased from most local computer
suppliers. The sound cable connects to your sound card
at one end and the other end connects to the digital
audio connector at the left rear of the Combo drive (see
Combo drive Back Panel
photo for location). Refer to the
instructions that came with your sound card for details
on any sound-driver software required.

30.5mm (measured from outside surface of side or
bottom of drive to tip of screw). Replace computer
