High-Definition Multimedia Interface (only for certain models)
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an
industry-supported,
video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any
compatible digital audio/video source, such as a set-top
box, DVD player, and A/V receiver and a compatible
digital audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital
television (DTV), over a single cable.
Use the HDMI port on your computer to connect with
high-end audio and video equipment. Single cable
implementation allows tidy setup and fast connection.
Headphones and microphone
These two ports allow you to connect audio devices. Use the
headphone port to plug in stereo headphones or powered speakers.
Plugging an audio device to the headphone port disables the built-in
speakers. Use the microphone port to connect an external microphone
for mono recording; plugging in an external microphone disables the
built-in microphone.
