❖ Optional headphone and S/PDIF jack
(Available on certain models)
This jack lets you connect either an optical digital audio-
out cable (optional) directly to your digital stereo receiver
port or a stereo headphone (16 Ohm minimum).
The optional headphone and S/PDIF jack is used for both the
headphone and S/PDIF functions. You can use only one
function at a time.
❖ Audio out jack
This jack lets you connect a pair of external stereo
speakers.
When you connect an optical digital audio-out cable
(optional) directly to your digital stereo receiver port or
stereo headphone jack, the internal speakers of your
computer are disabled.
Before putting on headphones to listen to an audio CD, turn
the volume dial down. Do not set the volume too high when
using headphones. Continuous exposure to loud sound can
harm your hearing.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Use amplified speakers that require an
external power source. Other types of speakers will be
inadequate to produce sound from the computer.
To play back sound files through external speakers or
headphones:
1 Locate the headphone or audio out jack on the front of
the computer.
