etc.).

SETTINGS SUMMARY
This section summarizes the major control panel settings into a convenient list.:
Stereo to Multi-Speaker: Indicates that a stereo source will be
routed to all of the speakers when the Speaker Configuration is set
to either 4 or 5.1 speaker modes. This will occur whenever the
Speaker Position or Environments in the Equalizer Tab are enabled.
To listen to a stereo source with two speakers when using 4 or 5.1
speakers, set the Speaker Configuration to 2 Speaker. (For more
information about this feature under Vista, please see the earlier
section entitled “Listening to Stereo Music in Surround Sound”)
Graphic Equalizer: Indicates that the Equalizer is enabled, therefore the speaker frequency
response may be modified from its “flat” setting by the Equalizer.
Environments: Indicates that the Environments in the Equalizer Tab are enabled, which adds a
reverberation or “concert hall” effect to the sound.
Line In Available indicator: Indicates that the VersaJack is available to be used as a Line Input
(will be lit in 2 and 4 speaker modes only).
S/PDIF SETTINGS
The S/PDIF digital input and output connectors may be used to interface with external S/PDIF devices,
such as digital speakers, A/V receivers, DVD players and other home theater and professional audio devices.
The digital input and output signals are connected to external devices using fiber optic TOSLINK cables,
available at the Turtle Beach web site (www.TurtleBeach.com
) or at most consumer electronics retailers.
The S/PDIF Digital Output may be used to connect a 5.1 / 7.1 digital speaker system or an A/V receiver
with digital inputs. When using this mode, select one of the S/PDIF output modes in the pull-down menu,
as described below.
Â
When the S/PDIF signal is active, you should see a red light inside the digital output connector or at
the end of the TOSLINK cable inserted into the digital output connector.
When using Dolby Digital Live, all of the PC’s audio signals are transmitted in digital rather than analog
format, providing the highest quality signal possible. This configuration may be used for listening to stereo,
multi-channel 3-D games, multi-channel audio and playback of Dolby Digital 5.1 audio from DVDs.
