Using External Speakers Or Headphones; Using Pc Cards - Toshiba A8-S8513 User Manual

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.
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-jack.
To adjust the volume:
❖
For external speakers, use the volume controls on each speaker.
❖
For headphones, use the computer's volume control dial.

Using PC Cards

Your notebook computer comes with a PC Card slot and supports
two types of PC Cards:
❖
Type I cards—You can install one of these cards.
❖
Type II cards—You can install one of these cards.
The PC Card slot supports hot swapping, which allows you to
replace one PC Card with another while the computer is on.
Exploring Your Computer's Features
Before putting on headphones to listen to an audio CD, turn the
volume dial down. Do not set the volume too high when using
headphones. Continuous exposure to loud sound can harm your
hearing.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Use amplified speakers that require an external
power source. Other types of speakers will be inadequate to produce
sound from the computer.
TECHNICAL NOTE: For PCMCIA-compatible PC Cards, check the
package to make sure they conform to the PCMCIA 2.1 standard (or
later). Other cards may work with your computer, but are likely to be
much more difficult to set up and use.
