Connecting an Apple Flat-Panel Display
You can connect your MacBook Pro to an Apple flat-panel display. Depending on the
display used, the connection might require a DVI to ADC adapter, available from an
Apple Store retail location, the online Apple Store at www.apple.com/store, or an
Apple Authorized Reseller.
Getting More Information About Using an External Monitor or TV
More information about using and configuring an external monitor is available in Mac
Help. Choose Help > Mac Help from the menu bar and search for “external monitor.”
Connecting Speakers and Other Audio Devices
Your MacBook Pro comes with two built-in speakers, a built-in microphone, an
audio line in/optical digital audio in (,) port, and a headphone/optical digital
audio out (f) port.
You can connect external speakers, headphones, 5.1 surround systems, and other
sound output devices to the headphone (f) port. The headphone port is also an
S/PDIF stereo 3.5 mini-phono jack. When devices are plugged in, sound won’t come
through your built-in speakers. Unplug any headphones or speakers to hear the
computer speakers.
