To connect an audio device
Your computer includes a built-in microphone (just in front of the blue sleep button) that
you can use to record voice, sound, and music. You can also plug in a stereo input source
(such as a CD player), an external microphone, external speakers, or headphones.
CAUTION
The audio jacks are three-terminal stereo jacks. They are not compatible with two-
terminal mono plugs. Connecting a mono plug into the speaker-out jack may
damage the computer.
• Attach the audio cable to the corresponding audio port on the computer.
Note
When you plug a device into the external microphone port, the built-in microphone
automatically turns off. When you plug a device into the audio out port, the built-in
speakers automatically turn off.
