Connecting Speaker Systems

*For example, Creative Inspire 6.1 Analog Speakers.

If you have a 5.1 channel speaker system, you can upmix your stereo sources (such as CD Audio, MP3, WMA, MIDI, and Wave) to 6.1 channels by using Creative Multi-Speaker Surround (CMSS) technology. To upmix, you need to enable the CMSS feature in Creative EAX console.Refer to the Creative EAX Console online Help.
