143 Exploring Your Computer's Features Exploring audio features Using external speakers or headphones Your computer is equipped with a full stereo sound system with internal speakers. Instead of using the internal speakers, you can connect headphones or a pair of external stereo speakers. SP/DIF and headphone jack This jack lets you connect either an optical digital audio-out (TOSlink) cable (optional) directly to your digital stereo receiver port or a stereo headphone (16 Ohm minimum). When you connect an optical digital audio-out TOSlink cable (optional) directly to your digital stereo receiver port or stereo headphone jack, the internal speakers of your computer are disabled. TECHNICAL NOTE: Use amplified speakers that require an external power source. Other types of speakers will be inadequate to produce sound from the computer. To play back sound files through external speakers or headphones: 1 Locate the headphone jack on the front of the computer. 2 Using any necessary adapters, plug the cable from the headphones or external speakers into the headphone jack. The headphone jack requires a 16-ohm, stereo mini-jack. To adjust the volume: ❖ For external speakers, use the volume controls for the speakers ❖ For headphones, use the computer's volume control dial
