2Right-click anywhere in the WinDVD video window, and then click Setup.

3Click the Audio tab.

4Click the option for the number of speakers to match your multi-channel speaker system, and then click Apply.

NOTE: To test the speakers (multi-channel speakers only), click the Test button. The WinDVD control panel shows the speaker number being used. Click Stop.
