Enhancing Your Sound Blaster Live! Experience Playing Games and Music, and Watching Movies Watching DVD Movies or Playing DVD Games The Sound Blaster Live! card alone will most undoubtedly give you endless hours of listening pleasure. To further enhance your SB Live! experience, there are several upgrade options (available separately). The following information and diagrams on the next few pages show how you can connect these options to your SB Live! card. ❑ With FourPointSurround Digital speakers from Cambridge SoundWorks, you can experience crystal clear gaming sequences or music from the Digital DIN connection. If you want an even more immersive surround experience while watching movies, get the Playworks DTT3500 5.1 Digital speakers. A minijack-to-DIN cable is bundled with the speaker set for this connection. ❑ Alternatively, you can also connect an analog 5.1 channel speaker system (such as the DeskTop Theater 5.1 DTT2200 speakers from Cambridge SoundWorks) or even your 6channel home theatre speaker system. Besides the Front and Rear outputs, the SB Live! card has an Analog/Digital Out jack which allows you to connect to your Centre & Subwoofer channels. For instructions on how to switch between the analog and digital modes of the Digital/Analog jack, see "Switching between analog and digital output modes" on page 3-4 ❑ To watch DVD movies on your PC, why not get Creative's PC-DVD kit which comes with a PC-DVD drive and Encore MPEG2 decoder card? You can connect your Encore Dxr2, Dxr3 or MPEG2 decoder card to an external Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder such as the DeskTop Theater speaker systems. In this case, disconnect the audio card's Aux In connector from the decoder card's Audio Out connector. However, if an external Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder speaker system is not available, this connection is necessary. * Information continues on page 1-9. Installing Sound Blaster Live! Player 5.1 1-5
