Using external display devices
❖ Using the S/PDIF jack on the side of the computer—This lets
you connect to a sound system that can accept the digital
optical signal from your computer. You need an S/PDIF cable
(not included with your computer) with a Toslink 1/8" (3.5mm)
mini plug on one end and a plug compatible with your sound
system on the other end.
❖ Using the Line Out jack on the side of the computer—This lets
you connect directly to powered speakers or a stereo system
that supports input from a line out source. You need a cable
(not included with your computer) with a 1/8” (3.5mm) stereo
plug on one end and plug(s) compatible with your sound
system on the other end (typically an RCA type connector)
Connecting an external monitor or projector
You can easily attach an external monitor or projector to your
computer if you need a larger screen. To do this:
1 Read the directions that came with the monitor to see if you
first need to install new software.
2 Connect the monitor’s video cable to the RGB (monitor) port
on the side of the computer.
3 Connect the device’s power cable to a live electrical outlet.
4 Turn on the external device.
Your computer will automatically detect the external display
device and activate a screen with display options.
5 Select the settings you desire and click Apply.
6 Click OK.
In the future you can change the display settings by pressing Fn+F5,
or by configuring the display properties settings.
Connecting an external monitor via the DisplayPort™
(Available on certain models)
To connect a DisplayPort™-compatible monitor to your computer,
read the directions that came with your monitor.
