Connecting external speakers or headphones
To attach an external stereo output device:
1
Locate the headphone jack near the front of the right side of
the computer.
2
Using any necessary adapters, plug the cable from the
external audio device into the headphone jack. The
headphone jack requires a 3.5-mm, 16-ohm stereo jack.
When the headphone is inserted, the internal speakers are
automatically disabled.
Before playing an audio CD, turn the volume down. Playing
the CD at maximum volume could damage your ears. To turn
the volume down, use the Volume Control switch or access the
Volume Control program (click Start, All Programs,
Accessories, Entertainment, Volume Control).
