Mixer deck Switching between analog and digital output modes The three buttons at the left side of the Main deck allows you to switch between three different views: • In the EAX view, you can select and create your audio presets and position audio sources within the speaker configuration space. • In the Speaker view, you can select your speaker setup and perform a speaker output test. • In the Spectrum view, you can select and display the spectrum analyzer during playback or recording. The Mixer deck allows you to: • Mix sounds from various audio input sources when playing or recording; • Adjust the volume level for the audio input sources; • Adjust the treble and bass level, front/rear or left/right balance. Tip ❑ If you are not sure what the icons on the Surround Mixer represent, place the pointer over any icon or area to display the tooltip. By default, the Analog/Digital Out jack of the audio card outputs analog centre and subwoofer channels.

In the Speaker view, click the Digital Output only check box to select it. (This is available for all speaker modes except for the Headphones mode). Alternatively, you can do the following: 1. In the Mixer deck of Surround Mixer, click the red plus sign above the VOL control. 2. In the dialog box that appears, click the Digital Output only check box to select it.
