Using Your MacBook Pro

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.
