Using the Notebook PC
Optional External Audio Connections
External Audio Connections
The Notebook PC provides easy access for connect-
ing a stereo headphone, mono microphone, and a
stereo audio source just like on some personal tape
recorders.
SPDIF Audio Connection
The headphone jack also doubles as a SPDIF audio
port. The SPDIF port carries undecoded digital au-
dio signal (AC3 or DTS) using an optional fiber
optics cable to your home theater system. The un-
decoded signal must be decoded by an external AC3/
DTS decorder or by the Notebook PC's built-in
decoder (available only on selected models). The
decoded signal can then be fed into a 5.1 channel
amplifier to drive 6 speakers for a totally amazing
sound experience.
