User Manual

Similarly, if you are using headphones, select Headphones from the drop-down list to prevent
sound from playing out over the connected speakers.

If you wish to record an audio signal, you must define it in the Record Source drop-down list.
Use a software program (such as Hercules MediaStation II) to record the audio signal.

6.1.3. The optical digital output

You can configure the optical digital output (S/PDIF Out connector) in the Other tab.

If you wish to transfer data onto a MiniDisc:

- Enable the MiniDisc® Optimal Mode option.

This option enables you to optimize the quality of the signal by reducing the breath like effect.

If you wish to transmit the audio signal from the PowerDVD software:

- Enable the PowerDVD™ software player option.

This option is useful if you have connected an amplifier/decoder + speakers to the S/PDIF Out. PowerDVD

will then transmit the audio signal, which will be decoded externally.

If you wish to transmit the audio signal from the internal S/PDIF IN connector:

- Enable the Digital audio source option.

6.2. Audio CD playback

If your CD-ROM / DVD-ROM drive does not automatically play your audio CD when you insert it
under Windows 98 SE / Millennium, enable the Auto insert notification option. To do this:

- Click on Start/Settings/Control Panel. (Under Windows Millennium, click on View all Control Panel

options if necessary.)

- Double-click on the System icon.
- Select the Device Manager tab.
- Select your CD-ROM / DVD-ROM drive in the CD-ROM section.
- Click on Properties.
- Select the Settings tab.
- Enable the Auto insert notification option.
- Click on OK/Close and reboot your computer.

Note: this option is automatically configured under Windows 2000 / XP.
