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.

5Click OK.

NOTE: If you want to play a stereo DVD, change the audio properties of WinDVD to match the recorded DVD audio output.

Using the Microphone with Multi-Channel Audio

The multi-channel speaker system (select models only) connects to the PC using the Microphone, Audio (Line) In, and Audio (Line) Out connectors on the back of the PC. Your PC may have a second microphone on the front of the PC. If present, this microphone is ready to use and does not affect the use of the multi-channel audio speaker system.

To use the microphone connector on the back of the PC with a multi-channel audio speaker system, you must disconnect the cables for the multi-channel speakers and change the audio configuration to a two-channel audio system. Refer to “Configuring the Multi-Channel Sound Manager” on page 22 to set the audio configuration.

Working with Digital Images

You can connect a digital image source, such as a digital camera or a digital video camera, directly to the PC or through a docking station. Digital picture files you copy or download from the device appear in the My Pictures folder. You can copy digital picture files from the memory cards used by digital cameras and other digital imaging devices by using the memory card reader (select models only). Refer to “About the Memory Card Reader” on page 24.
