Connecting an external microphone
Your VAIO desktop does not contain an internal microphone. If you need to use a sound input device, for
example to chat on the Internet, you need to plug in an external microphone.
To connect an external microphone, proceed as follows:
Plug the microphone cable (1) into the microphone connector (2) identified by the symbol .
✍ Make sure your microphone is designed for computer use.
