• On a PC: Most are equipped with combined DVD-Rom/CD drives. To listen to a movie while viewing it on the screen, or to listen to music, plug in the headphones. Lift the front flap of the CPU, which is usually a different color than the rest of the unit, and has the manufacturer icon on front. See raised image of headphones, usually at right, and plug in there. Other PC CPUs have headphones jack at the back of the unit.
• On a Mac: Most are equipped with CD drives; only a few are equipped with DVD-Rom drives. Look for label on CPU. To plug in the headphones on a DVD-Rom drive-enabled Mac, go to the back of the CPU, look for the megaphone image with sound waves emanating from it, and plug in there. To plug in the headphones on a CD drive-enabled Mac, go to the back of the CPU, look for the headphones image, and plug in there.
