120
CyberLink Pow erDVD
Depending on your sound card and/or number of speakers, select the speaker
environment that matches how you are listening to content in CyberLink
PowerDVD:
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 channel) 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 8 Speaker (a.k.a. 7.1 channel) option is 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 Use 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.
Note: HDMI output is not available under Windows XP.
Output mode

and setup.
The major difference between Dolby Surround* Compatible Downmix and
Stereo is that Dolby Surround uses the Dolby Surround downmixing
algorithm and the possibility exists of connecting an analogue Pro Logic
decoder to the sound card so as to enable 4-ch surround sound (left, right,
center, surround) for Dolby Surround. Otherwise, both are relatively similar in
2-channel output.
Dolby Headphone* is a post-processing effect designed to create a virtual
surround sound experience particularly for a headphone environment, but is
suitable also for both notebook and desktop environments. Select one of the
following options depending on your individual listening environment.
Dolby Headphone: Small room model: this option simulates a small, well-
damped private room appropriate for both movies and music-only
recordings. It is equivalent to the Dolby Headphone Reference Room and is
provided on all Dolby Headphone equipped products.
Dolby Headphone: Conference room model: this option simulates a more
acoustic live room particularly suited for music listening (e.g. intimate jazz
clubs).
Dolby Headphone: Movie theater model: this option simulates larger
venues like a concert hall or movie theater.
The TrueTheater Surround* option uses technology developed by CyberLink
to improve the quality of audio output from a notebook over headphones.
The Advanced options simulate the very different experiences of listening to
sound in a living room, a small theater or a large stadium. Select one of the
following options depending on your individual listening environment.
Living Room: this option simulates a small, well-damped private room
appropriate for both movies and music-only recordings.

The Dolby Virtual Speaker* option allows you to experience virtual surround
sound through 2 speakers. Select one of the following options depending on
your individual listening environment.
Reference: this mode creates a convincingly realistic five-speaker surround
sound from two speakers with the apparent width of the sound across the
front image defined by the distance between the two speakers.
Wide 1: this mode provides a wider, more spacious front image when the

channel source to 7 or 8 speakers). Select one of the following options
depending on your individual listening environment.
Movie playback: this mode is suitable for movies, especially those with
dynamic audio position shifting.

or director commentaries). The compressed audio format is passed-through
to the external decoder unit (AV Receiver).
Note: if the primary audio format is another format besides Dolby Digital,
DD+, DTS or DTS-HD, CyberLink PowerDVD will decode it and output both
audio signals simultaneously.
Dolby Digital* mixing: this mode outputs both primary video sound and
secondary video sound simultaneously by mixing both audio and encodes
into a Dolby Digital bitstream. Select this option if your external decoder unit
(AV Receiver) supports Dolby Digital.

analog signal. Select this option if your external decoder (AV receiver) does
not support Dolby Digital or DTS to produce a digital sounding output for
your audio.
Non-decoded Dolby Digital/DTS audio to external device: this mode passes
compressed audio through to your external decoder (AV receiver). Select this
option if your amplifier/receiver supports Dolby Digital or DTS to enable either
during playback, when available.
Non-decoded high-definition audio to external device (HDMI 1.3 and above):
