IEEE 1394 PORT
The IEEE 1394 port (also known as "Firewire" or
"iLink") allows you to connect devices that are
compliant with IEEE standard 1394. This port is effec-
tively a very fast communications port. Some digital
devices - such as digital cameras - use IEEE 1394 ports
for fast transfer of digital files and data.
In order to connect an IEEE 1394 device, follow these
steps:
1. Open the protective cover on the right side of the
system (Figure 2-26).
2. Align the connector with the port opening.
3. Push the connector into the port until it is seated.

any S-Video device, such as a VCR or television. The
S-Video standard provides for a higher quality picture
than NTSC or PAL. In order to connect an S-Video
device, follow these easy steps:

UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS PORTS
The Universal Serial Bus 2.0 ports allow you to connect
USB devices such as external game pads, pointing
devices, keyboards and/or speakers. USB 2.0 is much
faster than USB 1.1 (Its 480Mbps transfer rate is 40
times faster than that of USB 1.1). USB 2.0 ports are
backward-compatible to work with USB 1.1 devices.
In order to connect a USB device follow these easy steps:
1. Align the connector with the port opening.
2. Push the connector into the port until it is seated.

mm) stereo mini-plug. In order to connect headphones
or speakers follow these easy steps:
The headphone and optical digital audio
out share the same jack.
1. Align the connector with the port opening.
