• Dolby
®
Surround Encoding - enables audio to be encoded for playback
on home theater receivers (using analog stereo outputs only)
• Dolby
®
Digital Encoding - Enables audio to be encoded for playback on
5.1 home theater receivers (using digital SPDIF output only)
Here are some of the features on the Speaker Setup:
This optional S/PDIF audio module allows digital instead of analog sound
input and output.
RCA / Optical connectors
S/PDIF internal header
IMPORTANT! For S/PDIF out function, you may use either the module
or the S/PDIF connector (optional) at the back panel, but not both.
• Create Center Channel - Generates a center channel for audio content
that does not have it natively (like MP3s, WMAS, etc.)
• Create Channel 3D Pan - Allows game sounds to be panned through the
center speaker when they pass between the left and right speakers (only
works for DirectSound3D games)
• Create LFE Channel - Generates a subwoofer signal for speaker systems
that require it (like Dolby Digital receivers or home theaters with discreet
subwoofer inputs)
• Rear Speaker Phase Shift - Adjusts the output of the rear speakers so that
sounds don’t ‘cancel out’ and remove the bass channel or cause a ‘tinny’
sound (primarily older 4 channel PC speaker systems)
• LFE Crossover Frequency - Adjusts the amount of bass signal removed
from the main speakers and sent specifically to the subwoofer output
(increment in hertz).
