Using SRS® TruSurround HD™

SRS® TruSurround HD™ delivers the excitement of surround sound and enhanced movie dialog without

the need for rear speakers In addition, it adds richness and dimension to stereo sources like music and

Internet video

In order to experience the surround sound properly, it is important to confirm you have the proper setup on

your PC This section will guide you through the process of making sure you have the necessary setup to enjoy

the Z Cinéma in surround sound mode

1 Make sure the content you are listening to was recorded in surround sound

For movies, surround sound is typically recorded using Dolby® Digital and/or DTS® If you see one of these

two logos on your DVD, that means there a surround sound recording on your disc Most music is not

recorded in surround (it is typically recorded in stereo), but you may have surround sound on a DVD Audio

disc or a SACD disc Finally, many games support surround sound via the Windows® operating system

Check with the game manufacturer to see if the game has surround sound available

2 Make sure the application you are using supports surround sound

Every application supports surround sound differently, so there is no common instruction for this process

For watching DVD movies in surround sound, make sure that your DVD software has a Dolby® Digital or

DTS® decoder/plugin installed (these decoders typically do not come pre-installed with the software, so

you may have to upgrade your DVD player application to unlock these features)

3 Make sure that surround sound is enabled inside the application

Once you have a surround sound decoder installed, make sure that the audio settings for your DVD

software are set to 5.1 channel surround sound For games that support surround sound, make sure that

the audio is set to 5.1 channel surround sound from within the game settings menus

4 Make sure the DVD is playing the surround sound recording

Some DVD movies require you to select a surround sound track from within the DVD menu To access

these setup menus, insert the DVD movie and navigate to the main menu Look for a settings menu or an

audio menu Select Dolby® Digital, DTS® or whatever surround sound capability you have within your DVD

player software

The same steps apply to watching DVD movies within Windows® Media Center By default, Windows® Media

Center does not ship with a surround sound decoder, so you may need to purchase a separate decoder that

works with Media Center

SRS® TruSurround HD™: Headphone Mode

Turn on Headphone Mode when you want to optimize SRS® TruSurround HD™ for use with the headphone

jack on the right speaker

English
