TESTING THE SPEAKER CONFIGURATION

After selecting the speaker configuration to match your speaker system, you can check if the speakers are properly connected by clicking on the speaker icon to play a test signal on that speaker.

The buttons at the bottom of the speaker configuration illustration, labeled Test and Loop, operate as follows:

Test: When this button is clicked, the test signal automatically advances to the next speaker so that all of the speakers in a configuration are played once.

Loop: When this button is enabled, if the Test button is clicked, the test signal will continuously play in sequential order on all speakers until the Test button is turned off. If the Loop button is enabled with the Test button off, clicking a speaker will repetitively play the test signal on that speaker until the Loop button is turned off.

VOLUME SECTION

Master Volume: Controls the volume of all speakers.

Pan: Controls L/R balance.

Mute: Mutes all outputs when lit.

INDIVIDUAL SPEAKER VOLUMES

The volume controls for each speaker in the selected configuration are located to the right of the Master Volume slider. The number of sliders will depend on the speaker configuration (2 sliders for stereo, 4 sliders for quad, etc.).

Lock Button: Click the Lock button, located at the bottom of the section, to make the L/R slider pairs move together when adjusting the levels.

Reset Button: Click the Reset button to return all of the speaker levels to their default settings.

SETTINGS SUMMARY

This section summarizes the major control panel settings into a convenient list.:

Stereo to Multi-Speaker:Indicates that a stereo source will be routed to all of the speakers when the Speaker Configuration is set to either 4, 5.1 or 7.1 speaker modes. This will occur whenever the Speaker Position or Environments in the Effects Tab are enabled. To listen to a stereo source with two speakers when using 4, 5.1 or 7.1 speakers, set the Speaker Configuration to 2 Speaker. (For more information about this feature under Vista/Windows 7, please see the earlier section entitled ―Listening to Stereo Music in Surround Sound‖)

Graphic Equalizer: Indicates that the Equalizer is enabled, therefore the speaker frequency response may be modified from its ―flat‖ setting by the Equalizer.

Speaker Position: Indicates that the speaker icons positions in the Speaker Position section of the Effects Tab have been moved. If you find that the sound is not emanating from the speaker being tested, and this LED is on, check the Speaker Position settings to see if the speaker signal has been panned to a different location. (For more information about this feature under Vista/Windows 7, please see the earlier section entitled ―Listening to Stereo Music in Surround Sound‖)

Environments: Indicates that the Environments in the Effects Tab are enabled, which adds a reverberation or ―concert hall‖ effect to the sound.

Key Shifter: Indicates that the Pitch Shifter in the Effects Tab is enabled, therefore the digital audio output might be altered by this effect.

Center Canceller: Indicates that the Center Canceller effect in the Effects Tab is enabled, which removes audio signals that are panned to the center of a stereo source. This is typically used to remove the voice from a song.
