You can also plug in headphones, external speakers, an external microphone, or-if docked-a stereo input source (such as a CD player). The audio jacks are three-terminal stereo jacks. They are not compatible with twoterminal mono plugs. Connecting a mono plug into the speaker-out jack may damage your notebook. 94 Reference Guide
