2000

If you’re installing Montego DDL in a PC running Windows XP or Media Center Edition or Vista/Windows 7, please skip this section.

The analog CD connector is not used in Windows XP or Media Center Edition because the digital CD audio signal is sent directly through the PCI bus in digital format by default. In Windows 2000, the CD signal may also be set to digital mode, making the analog CD connector unnecessary if this option is selected.

To configure Windows 2000 for digital CD audio operation:

1.Open the Device Manager by right-clicking the My Computer icon on your desktop.

2.Click Properties Hardware Tab Device Manager.

3.Expand DVD/CD-ROM Drives by clicking the ―+‖ symbol in front of it. Then double-click on the CD-DVD ROM drive selection.

4.Select the Properties Tab and put a check mark in the option labeled Enable Digital CD Audio for this CD ROM Device.

5.Click OK.

All CD-ROM drives that adhere to the MPC-2 (Multimedia PC) standard have an MPC-2 jack. Connect the MPC-2 connector to your CD-ROM drive's analog CD audio output. (The cable to connect this analog signal should have been provided with your CD-ROM drive and is not included with Montego DDL.) Then attach the connector to the CD Audio header on the Montego DDL. The CD audio cable should be plugged into the CD-ROM drive first; then the other end of the cable should be plugged into the appropriate connector on the Montego DDL sound card.
