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 enter-
tainment 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
IEEE134 Port
IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but has simple connections and hot-
plugging capabilities like USB. The interface IEEE1394 has a bandwidth of 100-400
Mbits/sec and can handle up to 63 units on the same bus. IEEE1394 is also used in
high-end digital equipment and should be marked “DV” for Digital Video port.
Infrared Port (IrDA)
The infrared (IrDA) communication port allows convenient wireless data communication
with infrared-equipped devices or computers. This allows easy wireless synchronization
with PDAs or mobile phones and even wireless printing to printers. If your office supports
IrDA networking, you can have wireless connection to a network anywhere provided there
is a direct line of sight to an IrDA node. Small offices can use IrDA technology to share a printer between
several closely placed Notebook PCs and even send files to each other without a network.
PC Card Slot
One PCMCIA 2.1 compliant PC Card socket is available to support one type I/II PC card. The
socket supports 32-bit CardBus. This allows accommodation of Notebook PC expansion options
such as memory cards, ISDN, SCSI, Smart Cards, and wireless network adapters.
Audio Speaker
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.
