Surround Sound (Macintosh). Con- trols all surround

functions, including Sensaura (PC), TruSurround XT, Circle Surround II, Dialog Enhance- ment, and TruBass. Refer to the fol- lowing “Listening Tests” section of this guide for de- tailed information and suggested evaluation proce- dures.

Speaker Setup

(Windows). Pro- vides identical functionality to the Macintosh version. “Bass Manage- ment” option routes full-range signal to speakers if they are large enough to handle bass frequencies. If small speakers are specified, bass sig- nals are automati- cally routed to subwoofer.

Operating System Considerations

•Operating systems for the PC and Macintosh differ in their support of mul- tichannel audio, a fact of life that affects all third-party developers. The fol- lowing sections provide information on which tests are supported under which operating systems.
