WARNING Using Sound on Your PC Connecting Audio Devices to the Rear Panel Connecting Audio Devices to the Rear Panel The multimedia rear panel has an audio Line In jack, an audio Line Out jack, MIDI interface connector, and a MIC In jack. You can therefore use this panel to connect headphones, a microphone, a recording device, or other audio devices such as a Minidisc player, powered speakers, external amplifier for audio output. The positions of the jacks on the multimedia rear panel are shown in your User's Guide. Before connecting the headphones or speakers, always turn the volume down to avoid discomfort from unexpected noise or static. Listening to loud sounds for prolonged periods of time may permanently damage your hearing. Before putting on the headphones, place them around your neck and turn the volume down. When you put on the headphones, slowly increase the volume until you find a comfortable listening level. When you can hear comfortably and clearly, without distortion, leave the volume control in that position. Details of what each jack is for are given below. LINE IN Connect devices such as a cassette, DAT, or Minidisc player for playback and recording. MIC IN Connect a microphone for voice input. The Mic In jack on either the rear panel or the front panel can be used. You might find the front panel microphone input is more accessible than the rear panel connector. English 7
