Siren XPress Installation for Windows NT® (cont)

3.Double Click on Sirensetup.exe

4.Follow the on-screen instructions for installation

REAL MODE DOS INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)

This step is only required if you intend to run DOS applications under real DOS mode by restarting your computer in “MS-DOS mode”. This step is not required to run DOS applications in a DOS box (MS-DOS prompt).

In real DOS mode, you must have your DOS CD-ROM drivers loaded for access to the install CD. Another way to do this is to simply run INST_DOS.BAT from a DOS box in Windows.

Run INSTALL.EXE from the DOS directory on the CD. This installation program will create the TBird directory on any drive you desire. Follow the screen prompts to install the files to your hard drive. The install program will edit your autoexec.bat file to perform automatic initialization of Philips Acoustic Edge™ for use in real

mode DOS .

Using the Philips Acoustic Edge Control Panel for DOS To launch the DOS control panel:

1.Go to C:\PSC706\ (C represents you hard drive)

2.Type VOLCNTRL.EXE

This application allows you to adjust volume levels, balance, input levels, synthesizer modes, speaker modes, and midi effects in real DOS.

In DOS games that have music settings, if you select FM synthesis in the game, make sure the synth control in the control panel is set to OPL3. For games that support MIDI (mpu-401), select the WVTBL (wavetable) option.The game publisher normal- ly has this information in the program documentation.

NOTE: This application is for real MS-DOS mode only and should not be run under Windows. In Windows®, use the Windows® mixer for adjusting playback and recording levels.
