using the microphone with multi-channel audio
The multi-channel speaker system (select models only) connects to the PC using
the Microphone, Audio (Line) In, and Audio (Line) Out connectors on the back
of the PC. Your PC may have a second microphone on the front of the PC. If
present, this microphone is ready to use and does not affect the use of the multi-
channel audio speaker system.
To use the microphone connector on the back of the PC with a multi-channel
audio speaker system, you must disconnect the cables for the multi-channel
speakers and change the audio configuration to a 2-channel audio system. Refer
to “configuring the multi-channel sound manager” on page 43 to set the audio
configuration.
working with digital images
You can connect a digital image source, such as a digital camera or a digital
video camera, directly to the PC or through a docking station. Digital picture
files you copy or download from the device appear in the My Pictures folder.
You can copy digital picture files from the memory cards used by digital
cameras and other digital imaging devices by using the 7-In-1 memory card
reader (select models only). Refer to “about the 7-in-1 memory card reader” on
page 45.
about the 7-in-1 memory card reader
Digital cameras and other digital imaging devices use memory cards, or media,
to store digital picture files. The optional 7-In-1 memory card reader (select
models only) can read and can write to six types of memory cards and the IBM
Microdrive disk drive.
