Connecting audio equipment
Your Macintosh can play and record stereo sound from a variety of sources.
By connecting audio equipment to the sound input and output ports on the
computer, you can listen to or reproduce stereo sound. Using the internal
CD-ROM player, your computer can also play and record sound from audio
compact discs (CDs).
For information on using Macintosh system software to choose audio input
and output options, record an alert sound, or play audio CDs, see the “Sound”
topic area of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
