Options when volume set- tings no longer match

The audio from a Web Radio station is delivered over an Internet connection. While using an Internet connection, you can experience delays, periodic drop-outs and even disconnection. This can affect the quality and continuity of Internet audio broadcasts. The ability of your Wave/PC system to play and record CDs, or play music files, is limited by the capabilities of your computer hardware and software components.

Getting the best possible sound quality

Your computer hardware is assessed during installation of the Wave/PC software. This is done to make sure that the Wave/PC system is fully operational within the limitations of your computer hardware and software components. Upgrading your computer hardware with a better sound card, more RAM, and a faster CD-ROM drive, hard drive or modem, can improve the sound quality and overall performance of your Wave/PC system. For more infor- mation, refer to your computer manufacturer.

While using the Wave/PC system, you can optimize the sound and overall performance of the system by minimizing the number of tasks being performed by your computer. Traditional background software applications, such as e-mail or web browsers, have a minimal effect on Wave/PC system performance when they are not in the process of moving large amounts of information.

Changes in volume settings

When you installed the Wave/PC software application, the volume settings were automati- cally calibrated. This calibration matched the relative volume level of computer-generated audio with the audio generated by the AM/FM tuner in the Wave/PC unit. If you change the volume level on your computer (such as in the Task bar) outside of the Wave/PC application, these volume levels will no longer match.

If the volume levels are unmatched the next time you open the Wave/PC application, the dia- log box in Figure 12 opens. Select the appropriate action.

Calibrates the volume settings (see “Setting general setup options” on page 44).

Restores the volume control settings obtained from the last volume calibration.

Leaves the volume control in the current uncalibrated setting.

Note: After installing the Wave/PC system application, use the Wave/PC system volume control on your computer to adjust the volume level. Right click on the Wave/PC monitor icon in the system tray to bring up the volume con- trol buttons.
