Asus A7N8X-E Dolby, Dolby, Digital Encoding, Surround Encoding, Create LFE Channel, Create Center Channel, Create Channel 3D Pan, LFE Crossover Frequency

Here are some of the features on the Speaker Setup:

•Dolby® Surround Encoding - enables audio to be encoded for playback on home theater receivers (using analog stereo outputs only)

•Dolby® Digital Encoding - enables audio to be encoded for playback on 5.1 home theater receivers (using digital SPDIF output only)

This optional S/PDIF audio module allows digital instead of analog sound input and output.

RCA / Optical connectors

S/PDIF internal header

For S/PDIF out function, you may use either the module or the S/PDIF connector at the back panel, but not both.

•Create Center Channel - Generates a center channel for audio content that does not have it natively (like MP3s, WMAS, etc.)

•Create Channel 3D Pan - Allows game sounds to be panned through the center speaker when they pass between the left and right speakers (only works for DirectSound3D games)

•Create LFE Channel - Generates a subwoofer signal for speaker systems that require it (like Dolby Digital receivers or home theaters with discreet subwoofer inputs)

•Rear Speaker Phase Shift - Adjusts the output of the rear speakers so that sounds don’t ‘cancel out’ and remove the bass channel or cause a ‘tinny’ sound (primarily older 4 channel PC speaker systems)

•LFE Crossover Frequency - Adjusts the amount of bass signal removed from the main speakers and sent specifically to the subwoofer output (increment in hertz).
