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.
Before putting on headphones to listen, turn the volume down. Do 
not set the volume too high when using headphones. Continuous 
exposure to loud sound can harm your hearing.
TECHNICAL NOTE: When using amplified speakers, use 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 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 connector.
