Attention
Before you change any monitor settings, be sure to review the
information that comes with your monitor. Using a resolution or
refresh rate that is not supported by your monitor might cause the
screen to become unreadable and could damage the monitor. The
information that comes with your monitor usually includes the
resolutions and refresh rates that the monitor supports. If you need
additional information, contact the manufacturer of the monitor.
To minimize screen flicker and jitter, set your monitor for the highest
noninterlaced refresh rate that the monitor supports. If your monitor
complies with the VESA Display Data Channel (DDC) standard, it is
probably already set to the highest refresh rate that the monitor and video
controller can support. If you are not sure if your monitor is
DDC-compliant, see the documentation provided with the monitor.

Using audio features

Your computer has an integrated audio controller that supports Sound
Blaster applications and is compatible with the Microsoft Windows Sound
System. Your computer also has a single internal speaker and three audio
connectors. Using the audio controller, you can record and play back
sound and music and enjoy sound with multimedia applications.
Optionally, you can connect two stereo speakers to the line-out connector to
enjoy better sound with multimedia applications.
The audio connectors in your computer are 3.5 mm (1/8-in.) mini-jacks. A
description of the connectors follows. (For the location of the connectors,
see "Connecting computer cables" on page 13.)

Line out/headphone

This jack is used to send audio signals from the computer to external
devices, such as powered speakers with built-in amplifiers, headphones,
multimedia keyboards, or the audio line-in jack on a stereo system.
Note: The internal speaker in your computer is disabled when anything is
connected to this connector on your computer.

Audio line in

This jack is used to accept audio signals from external devices, such as line
output from a stereo, television, or musical instrument, into the computer
sound system.
