SPDIF Out jack (on separate metal bracket)
Connects an external digital device that uses a
SPDIF connector, such as a Digital Audio Tape
(DAT) machine, for playback or recording.
Figure 1-2: Connection of SPDIF Out jack to SPDIF connector.
The end of the cable attached to the SPDIF Out jack must be
connected to the SPDIF connector on your audio card.
The digital audio signals from the SPDIF Out jack contain audio
output from the EMU8000 wavetable chip mixed with digital voice
playback if the playback is in 16-bit stereo mode, 44.1 kHz CD
quality. If you want to listen to WaveSynth/WG through the SPDIF
Out jack, you must enable the "Enable WaveSynth to play at CD
quality" feature. To do so:
1. Start CreativeWaveSynth-Waveguide.
The WaveSynth/WG properties sheet appears, displaying the
Profile tab.
2. Click the Performance Settings button.
3. In the Settings dialog box, select the Enable WaveSynth To
Play At CD Quality check box and click the OK button.
4. In the WaveSynth/WG properties sheet, click the Quit button
to close it.
SPDIF connector (on audio card)
Connects the SPDIF Out jack to transfer
digital audio signals from your audio card to
a device that also uses a SPDIF connector,
such as the DAT machine.
