Systems not using subwoofers can shunt the LFE information to the main speakers in the surround sound setup. 11 side surround sound connector Use the (gray) side surround sound connector to attach multichannel-capable speakers.

On computers with a sound card, use the connector on the card. Connecting Monitors CAUTION: Before you perform any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide. NOTE: Your computer supports one VGA and one DVI connector. If you are connecting two monitors that have VGA connectors, you must use the optional DVI-to-VGA adapter. If you are connecting two flat-panel monitors, at least one of them must have a VGA connector. If you are connecting a television, you can connect only one monitor (VGA or DVI) in addition to the television. Setting Up and Using Your Computer 17
