Using a color prole
The display provides a color prole that can work with the Microsoft Image Color Management (ICM)
function. If the graphics software you are using is compatible with ICM, you can display a color image on
your monitor and match it, with the same quality, on another device, such as a scanner or a printer.
For details on Microsoft ICM, refer to the manuals provided with the Windows operating system.
Note: The color prole for ThinkPad LCD has been pre-installed in your computer already. If you need to
install a different color prole, see Installing ThinkPad Monitor File for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7.
Using audio features
Your computer is equipped with the following:
• Combo audio jack, 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) in diameter
• Built-in stereo speakers
• Built-in dual array digital microphone
Your computer also has an audio chip that enables you to enjoy various multimedia audio features:
• Compliant with Intel High Denition Audio.
• Recording and playback of PCM and WAV les in 16-bit or 24-bit format.
• Playback of a WAV le at a sample rate of 44.1KHz to 192 KHz.
• Playback of MIDI les through a Wave table synthesizer under Microsoft Windows operating systems.
• Playback of MP3 les through the Windows Media Player or a software MP3 player.
• Recording from various sound sources, such as an external microphone.
Note: The combo audio jack does not support a conventional microphone. If a conventional headphone is
attached to it, the headphone function is supported. If a headset with a 3.5 mm 4-pole plug is attached to it,
both headphone and microphone functions are supported.
Beam Forming feature
A built-in dual array digital microphone is mounted at the bottom of the display. Whereas a conventional
single-element microphone captures sounds from all around, the built-in dual array digital microphone is
designed to capture the sound from an exceptionally limited angle, through the combination of a specialized
microphone array with a capability of digital signal processing. Therefore the microphone captures sounds
from the area in front of the system clearly, but blocks out almost all the sounds from outside the capturing
range. Thus the speech of a user sitting in front of the system is input to the system without interference
from noise in the surrounding area. To record your speech most clearly, you should speak directly in front
of the computer.
Conguring for sound recording
To congure the microphone for optimized sound recording, open the SmartAudio window as follows:
Click Start ➙ Control Panel ➙ Hardware and Sound ➙ SmartAudio. The SmartAudio window opens.
