Multimedia Setting Audio Output Preferences The notebook is set by default to transmit analog audio signals through the 2 audio-out (headphone) jacks. The notebook can also transmit S/PDIF digital audio signals through the audio-out jacks. To transmit S/PDIF signals to an external device, the system must include an optional docking device. Refer to the manufacturer's documentation for more information about these devices. External Video Devices Connecting an S-Video Device (Select Models Only) An S-Video device can be used while the notebook is in Windows only when TV-Out is enabled on the Player Setup menu. Connecting the Audio The S-Video-out jack supports video signals only. If you are setting up a configuration that combines audio and video functions, such as playing a DVD movie on your notebook and displaying it on your television, you need a standard 3.5-mm audio cable, available from most computer or electronics retailers. Plug the stereo end of the audio cable into an audio-out (headphone) jack on the notebook. Plug the other end of the cable into the audio-in jack on the external device. For more information about the notebook audio-out jacks and about the types of devices that can be connected to them, refer to the "Using the Audio-Out (Headphone) Jacks" section earlier in this chapter. ✎ S/PDIF audio support is only available through an optional expansion product. 4-6 Hardware and Software Guide
