Connecting to the Stereo Line-Out /Headphone
Jack
When connecting a device to the stereo line-out jack:
■ Use only a 3.5-mm stereo plug.
■ Use 32-ohm headphones and at least 8-ohm external speakers
for best sound quality.
The stereo line-out jack disables the computer speaker when an
external audio device is plugged into the jack.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, turn down the
volume control before putting on headphones.
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to an external device, do
not plug a single-sound channel (monaural) connector into the
stereo speaker/headphone jack.
