Using Your Mac mini

Note: You can also connect to another Macintosh using IP over FireWire instead of

Ethernet. FireWire 400 can be up to four times faster than 100Base-T Ethernet. For more

information, choose Help > Mac Help and search for “FireWire network.”

Connecting Audio Devices

Your Mac mini comes with an headphone out/optical digital audio out (f ) port and an

audio in/optical digital audio in (,) port.

Headphone Out/Optical Digital Audio Out Port

You can connect external powered speakers, headphones, 5.1 surround systems, and

other sound output devices to the headphone out/optical digital audio out (f ) port.

The headphone port is also a S/PDIF stereo 3.5 mini-phono jack. When you plug a pair

of headphones or another device into the mini-phono jack, sound comes through the

device instead of the Mac mini speaker. You can also stream music to your home stereo

with iTunes and an AirPort Express.
