Watching Dvd - Creative SB1560 User Manual

Watching DVD

You can set up a PC home entertainment system using your audio device. Watch DVDs on your PC and
decode Dolby Digital and DTS® signals from your audio device through a Dolby Digital external decoder
or an AV Amplifier.
Connect the digital input of your external decoder or AV Amplifier to the Optical SPDIF Out connector of
your audio device. For more information on external decoder or AV Amplifier speaker connection
settings, consult the User's Guide of your external decoder or AV Amplifier.
Decoding with a software DVD player
You can use a software DVD player to decode Dolby Digital or DTS encoded signals from your DVDs, and
output multichannel audio through your audio device to your speakers. To do so, you need to install a
software DVD player such as Cyberlink® PowerDVD®.
Dolby Digital Live
Dolby Digital® Live is a real-time encoding technology from Dolby Laboratories that converts any audio
signal into a Dolby Digital bitstream for transport and playback through your home theater or digital
speaker system.
Transform your gameplay into an exciting and realistic experience using Dolby Digital Live. Audio cues
and effects that follow the onscreen action are reproduced, immersing you in 5.1 channel surround
sound that puts you at the center of the action.
With Dolby Digital Live, a single digital cable is all that is needed to connect your computer to your
home theater system, simplifying setup and eliminating the confusion of multiple cables.
To learn how to connect your A/V receiver or digital speaker system to your audio device, consult the
