Network
Power Saving Function in the Sound Chip
The network connection may be severed under the condition the power of the display
is OFF (for energy conservation purposes) and suspend* (hibernation) mode. When
network or communication software is to be used, set [System standby], [Turn off
monitor] and [Turn off hard disks](in [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [Power
Management]) to [Never].
When the power saving function is running, communications software may malfunc-
tion. For example, communications may be halted if the suspend* (hibernation) mode
is activated. The computer must be restarted if one of these modes is entered during
data communications.
Be sure that the power of the display is cut (for energy conservation purposes) or the
computer enters suspend (hibernation) mode after the communications software is
closed.
The sound chip has its own power saving function. You can enable this function in the
[DS-XG Power] tab (select [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [Power Management]).
In [Full power level], the power saving function is disabled.
(When a ZV card is used, set [Full power level] to enable sound to be normally pro-
duced.)
In [Minimum level of power save], the power saving function is enabled. You may en-
counter problems, such as no sound from music CDs.
Do not select [Intermediate level of power save] or [Maximum level of power save] be-
cause noise is likely.
* With Windows 98, the "Suspend" is called "Standby".
