Your computer also has ports that accept left and right audio input and output
through RCA-type connectors. These connectors are found on devices like
VCRs and tape decks (see the previous section, “About Your Computer’s A/V
Panel,” for more information on the types of equipment you can attach to
these ports).
Connecting most audio equipment
