Flash Memory Slot

Normally a PCMCIA or USB memory card reader must be purchased separately in order to
use memory cards from devices such as digital cameras, MP3 players, mobile phones, and
PDAs. This Notebook PC has a built-in memory card reader that can read many flash memory
cards as specified later in this manual. The built-in memory card reader is not only convenient,
but also faster than most other forms of memory card readers because it utilizes the high-
bandwidth PCI bus.

Microphone Input Jack (Mic In)

The mono microphone jack (1/8 inch) can be used to connect an external microphone or
output signals from audio devices. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in
microphone. Use this feature for video conferencing, voice narrations, or simple audio
recordings.

SPDIF Output Jack

This jack provides connection to SPDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) compliant devices
for digital audio output. Use this feature to turn the Notebook PC into a hi-fi home
entertainment system.

Headphone Output Jack

The stereo headphone jack (1/8 inch) is used to connect the Notebook PC’s audio out signal to
amplified speakers or headphones. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in speakers.

Combo

Audio Speakers

The built-in stereo speaker system allows you to hear audio without additional attachments. The
multimedia sound system features an integrated digital audio controller that produces rich, vibrant
sound (results improved with external stereo headphones or speakers). Audio features are software
controlled.
