DVD Playback Modes

Using 4-channel surround speakers your Rhythmic Edge™ sound card can deliver true multi-channel surround sound from a compatible soft-DVD player application even if the player only supports stereo output. If the soft-DVD player is capable of providing a 4-channel Dolby Digital™ down-mix Rhythmic Edge will out- put all 4 Dolby Digital channels. Even if the soft-DVD player supports 4-channel Dolby Digital™ you may prefer using QMSS™ playback of DVD’s because of the enhanced rear channel content it provides. If you have only stereo speakers Rhythmic Edge can also provide virtual surround using its QSurround feature.

To enable 4 speaker QMSS™ DVD enhancement:

1.Make sure “4 Speakers” (and "Expand All" for Windows® 2000) is selected in the Rhythmic Edge control panel settings tab.

2.Open the “control panel” or “settings” menu for the soft-DVD player.

3.Select the menu or tab that controls the player’s audio settings.

4.Look for a panel that allows you to select the number and type audio channels

5.Select either 2 speaker “Stereo” or 2 speaker “Dolby Surround or ProLogic”. Either option will work well as the QMSS™ DSP algorithm does not depend on Dolby encoding. (Effectively you should follow the soft-DVD player instructions for playing back over stereo speakers even though you have a quad speaker system connected).

6.Close the control panel and play a DVD. Rhythmic Edge will detect that it is in 4 speaker mode but is only receiving two channels of audio from the DVD and automatically generate 4 distinct channels of surround sound using QMSS™.

To enable a 4 speaker Dolby Digital™ playback :

1.Make sure “4 Speakers” is selected (and for Windows® 2000 that "Expand All" is NOT selected) in the Rhythmic Edge control panel settings tab.

2.Follow the soft-DVD players instructions for 4 speaker playback. (Some players will not offer this feature)

3.Play a DVD and Rhythmic edge will output the 4 channel Dolby Digital sound provided by the soft-DVD player.
