Using the audio features
Using the audio-in (microphone) jack
The computer is equipped with a stereo (dual-channel) microphone jack that supports an optional stereo
array or monaural microphone. Using sound recording software with external microphones allows for
stereo recordings.
When connecting a microphone to the microphone jack, use a microphone with a 3.5-mm plug.
Using the audio-out (headphone) jack
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury, adjust the volume before putting on
headphones, earbuds, or a headset.
CAUTION To prevent possible damage to an external device, do not plug a single sound
channel (monaural) connector into the headphone jack.
In addition to connecting headphones, the headphone jack is used to connect the audio input function
of an audio/video device such as a television or VCR.
When connecting a device to the headphone jack, use only a 3.5-mm stereo plug.
When a device is connected to the headphone jack, the speakers are disabled.
Using S/PDIF digital audio (select models only)
S/PDIF (Sony/Phillips Digital Interface) or digital audio provides enhanced audio performance, including
surround sound and other high-end audio output.
For digital audio connections, connect the S/PDIF digital audio plug to the digital audio connector on
your audio/video equipment.
NOTE In order to use S/PDIF with the headphone jack, you will need an optional mini TOS link
cable and/or adapter.

Using the video features
Using the external monitor port
The external monitor port connects an external display device, such as a television, an external monitor,
or a projector, to the computer.
To connect a display device, connect the device cable to the external monitor port.
NOTE If a properly connected external display device does not display an image, press fn+f4
to transfer the image to the device.
Chapter 1 Using multimedia hardware
Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
ENWW
Using the S-Video-out jack
The 7-pin S-Video-out jack connects the computer to an optional S-Video device such as a television,
VCR, camcorder, overhead projector, or video capture card.
To transmit video signals through the S-Video-out jack, you need an S-Video cable, available from most
electronics retailers. If you are combining audio and video functions, such as playing a DVD movie on
your computer and displaying it on your television, you also need a standard audio cable, available from
most electronics retailers, to connect to the headphone jack.
The computer can support one S-Video device connected to the S-Video-out jack, while simultaneously
supporting an image on the computer display or on any other supported external display.
NOTE The S-Video connection provides a higher quality image than a composite-video
connection.
To connect a video device to the S-Video-out jack:
1.
Plug one end of the S-Video cable into the S-Video-out jack on the computer.
NOTE If the S-Video-out jack on the computer is not accessible because the computer is
docked in an optional docking device, connect the S-Video cable to the S-Video-out jack on
the docking device.
2.
Plug the other end of the cable into the video device, as instructed in the user guide included with
the device.
3.
Press the fn+f4 keys to switch the image between display devices connected to the computer.

Using the video features
Using the camera
Select computer models include an integrated camera, located on the top of the display. The camera
can be used with a variety of software for the following functions:
●
Capturing video.
●
Streaming video with instant message software.
●
Taking still photos.
The camera light (1) turns on when video software accesses the camera (2).
For optimum performance, observe the following guidelines while using the integrated camera:
●
Be sure that you have the latest version of an instant message program before attempting a video
conversation.
●
Your integrated camera may not work properly across some network firewalls. If you are having
trouble viewing or sending video to someone on another LAN or outside your network firewall,
contact your network administrator for assistance.
●
Whenever possible, place bright light sources behind the camera and out of the picture area.

ENWW
Capturing and streaming video
To illustrate how each camera feature works, the following examples use specific software, not available
on all computers. Select Start > All Programs to locate the video software installed on your computer,
and refer to the individual program's online Help for further information.
Capturing video
You can capture video for playback at a later time. The following example uses MovieMaker software:
1.
Select Start > Programs > Windows MovieMaker.
2.
Click Capture from Video Device. The Video Capture Wizard opens.
3.
Click the listing for the integrated camera from the list of available devices.
4.
Check the microphone and camera settings, and adjust if necessary.
5.
Click Next.
6.
Select the file name and path where you want to save the video file, and then click Next.
7.
Select the video settings, and then click Next.
8.
Click Start Capture. When you finish recording, click Stop Capture.
9.
Click Finish to save the video file and close the wizard.
Streaming video with an instant message program
You can send real-time video through an instant message program. The following example uses
Windows Messenger:
1.
Open Windows Messenger by double-clicking the icon in the notification area, at the far right of the
taskbar.
2.
Sign in to Windows Messenger.
3.
Select Actions > Voice/Video > Start a Video Conversation.
4.

ENWW
Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
Using the camera
Taking still photographs with the integrated camera
1.
Select Start > Control Panel > Scanners and Cameras.
2.
Double-click the listing for the integrated camera, and then click Next.
3.
Click Take Picture.
4.
Follow the directions on the Picture wizard to select any of the following options:
●
Publish the pictures to a Web site.
●
Order prints of the pictures.
●
Save the pictures on your computer.
Adjusting camera properties
You can adjust the following camera properties:
10
●
Brightness—Controls the amount of light that is incorporated into the image. A higher brightness
setting creates a brighter image; a lower brightness setting creates a darker image.
●
Contrast—Controls the difference between lighter and darker areas on the image. A higher contrast
setting intensifies the image; a lower contrast setting maintains more of the original information’s
dynamic range but leads to a flatter image.
●
Hue—Controls the aspect of color that distinguishes it from another color (what makes a color red,
green, or blue). Hue is distinct from saturation, which measures the intensity of the hue.
●
Saturation—Controls the strength of color in the final image. A higher saturation setting creates a
bolder image; a lower saturation setting creates a more subtle image.
●
Sharpness—Controls the definition of edges in an image. A higher sharpness setting creates a
more defined image; a lower sharpness setting creates a softer image.
●
Gamma—Controls the contrast affecting the mid-level grays or midtones of an image. Adjusting
the gamma of an image allows you to change brightness values of the middle range of gray tones
without dramatically altering the shadows and highlights. A lower Gamma setting makes greys look
black, and makes dark colors even darker.
●
White Balance—Controls the color temperature of the dominant light sources. This enables white
objects in the image to appear truly white. The white balance settings in the Properties dialog box
are displayed as WB (Red) and WB (Blue). A higher white balance setting increases the
concentration of the color (red or blue); a lower white balance setting decreases the concentration
of the selected color.
●
Exposure—Controls the relative amount of light that enters the camera sensor. A higher exposure
setting allows more light; a lower exposure setting allows less light.
●
Gain—Controls the intensity range, thus altering the color contrast of the image. A higher gain
setting stretches the intensity range; a lower gain setting shrinks the intensity.
●
Light Source—Controls the settings to adjust the camera exposure for the ambient light.
●
Flip—Reverses the captured image vertically.
●
Mirror—Reverses the captured image horizontally.

ENWW
●
Privacy—Turns off the capture function.
●
Low Light—Lowers the frame rate automatically in a poor lighting environment to maintain the
brightness of the captured image.
The Properties dialog box is accessible from various programs that use the integrated camera, usually
from a configuration, settings, or properties menu.
