Connecting the Speakers 31
5.1 Speaker System
Your PC may have a sound card with connectors on
the back of the PC for analog and digital audio
outputs (Line out – 1; Line out – 2; and Line out 3);
a microphone; and an audio input (Line in). If your
PC has a sound card with these connectors, perform
the procedures in the next section.
Some PCs have the multi-channel audio capability
that uses the microphone; Audio (Line) In; and Audio
(Line) Out connectors on the back of the PC.
If your PC has these connectors, you can connect
and install a multi-channel audio speaker system. To
do this, follow the procedures in the next section.
Because your 5.1 speaker system may vary, to set
up your speakers, please refer to the instruction
package included with the 5.1 speaker system box.
To connect the 5.1 speaker system, refer to the table
listing connector information.
