Microphone Input Jack (Mic-In)
The mono microphone jack (1/8 inch) can be used to connect an external microphone or output signals
from audio devices. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in microphone. Use this feature for
video conferencing, voice narrations, or simple audio recordings.
Headphone Output Jack (Head-Out)
The stereo headphone jack (1/8 inch) is used to connect the Notebook PC’s audio out signal to ampli-
fied speakers or headphones. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in speakers.
Audio Speakers (Left/Right)
The built-in speakers allow you to hear audio without additional attachments. The multimedia sound
system features an integrated digital audio controller that produces rich, vibrant sound (results im-
proved with external stereo headphones or speakers). All audio features are software controlled.
Audio In
Audio input allows feeding in audio from another source in order to listen to it using the Notebook PC’s
speakers or to use it for digital multimedia files.
