Speaker environment
Note: these settings are disabled in versions of CyberLink PowerDVD that use Dolby
PCEE to optimize sound for media playback.
Depending on your sound card and/or number of speakers, select the speaker
environment that matches the number of speakers you have:
Headphone is mainly for notebook users who listen to their audio output on
•
headphones.
2 Speaker is the selection for most users playing discs on their desktop/laptop
•
who only have 2 speakers or a sound card that only outputs two channels.
The 4 Speaker selection is for computers equipped with sound cards that
•
support 4-ch output.
The 6 Speaker selection (a.k.a. 5.1 channels) is for computers equipped with
•
sound cards that support 6-ch output and is optimal for DVD Video titles that
feature multichannels encoding such as Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1.
The 7 Speaker and 8 Speaker options are available for users who have
•
multiple speakers and wish to output audio to each of them.
The Use S/PDIF option is an advanced technological Digital InterFace, as
•
opposed to transferring signals via conventional analog interfaces, designed
by the Sony and Philips corporations. To enjoy true 6 speaker output quality,
you must have an external Dolby Digital or DTS decoder along with a S/PDIF-
compliant sound card to make this selection available.
Note: when the S/PDIF audio output is enabled and the output stream is not PCM, the
volume control for CyberLink PowerDVD is disabled because your decoder assumes
the task.
The HDMI output selection is for users who have their audio connected with
•
an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connector.
