Using Speakers; Using Multi-Channel Audio Speakers - HP Pavilion 364 Quick Start Manual

Using Speakers

Note:
The stereo speakers set is a left-right, 2-channel
speaker system, and may be passive (no power
button) or active (power button). A multi-channel
audio speakers system is an active system with
more than 2-channels, and may include a
subwoofer.
For example, a 5.1 speakers system, referred
to as a 6-channel speakers system, uses two front
speakers (left-right), two rear speakers (left-right),
a center speaker, and a subwoofer.
The HP Pavilion includes a set of stereo speakers
that you can either attach to the monitor (select
models only) or place on the desk. For details on
connecting the stereo speakers to the PC, see the
setup poster.
If your PC has the multi-channel audio speakers
option (select models only), you can connect
4 channels for 4 speakers output or 6 channels
for 5.1 speakers output. Refer to "Using multi-
channel audio speakers" on page 24.

Using multi-channel
audio speakers
If your PC has multi-channel speakers capability
(select models only), you can connect speakers
for 4 channel or 6 channel output. You must
connect your speaker system to the PC and
configure the audio for sound output.
Note:
Multi-channel audio uses the Microphone,
Audio (Line) In, and Audio (Line) Out connectors
on the back of the PC to connect the multi-channel
speakers system to the PC. Refer to "PC Back" on
page x for the location of the connectors.
