Using EAX
General information about
EAX is available in "About
EAX" on page B-3, while
information about specific
EAX settings can be found
in "Useful terms to know"
on page A-2.
Besides Play Modes, your player also allows you to enhance your listening experience with EAX
technologies formerly available only with Creative's Sound Blaster Live! and Audigy audio cards. EAX
technologies (or "Settings") available in your player include:
•
Smart Volume Management (SVM), which intelligently controls the dynamic range of audio,
providing a superior audio experience in difficult listening environments such as in a plane or car.
•
Time-Scaling, which allows you to speed up or slow down audio without changing pitch or distorting
sound quality.
•
Environment, a collection of presets that allows you to experience audio in the virtual environment of
your choice, such as in a Concert Hall or Cathedral.
•
Advanced EQ, a collection of equalizer settings which can enhance audio of a particular genre.
Listen to the difference when you select "Jazz" in a jazz recording.
•
Spatialization, which enhances your audio soundstage, useful if, for example, you are listening to
audio with headphones.
