Using EAX

Your player allows you to enhance your listening experience with EAX technologies also available with Creative's Sound Blaster Live! and Audigy 2 audio cards. EAX technologies (or "Settings") available in your player include:

Environment, a collection of presets that allows you to experience audio in the virtual environment of your choice. Choose from the following Preset settings: Auditorium, Bath Room, Cathedral, Concert Hall, Garage, Indoor Arena, Jazz Club, Living Room, Opera House, Small Room and Theater.

Time Scaling, which allows you to speed up or slow down audio without changing pitch or distorting sound quality. Choose from the following Rate settings: 0.50x, 0.75x, 1.00x, 1.25x and 1.50x.

Advanced EQ, a collection of equalizer settings which can enhance audio of a particular genre. Consists of Custom EQ, Acoustic, Classical, Disco, Jazz, New Age, Pop, Rock, and Vocal. Scroll Select Custom EQ to set it from +12 dB (maximum) to -12 dB (minimum). See "Customizing EQ Settings in EAX" on page 3-27.
