User manual TERRATEC AUREON7.1UNIVERSE

[. . . ] Manual (English) Version: 04. 03. 04 CE Declaration We: TerraTec Electronic GmbH, Herrenpfad 38, D-41334 Nettetal, Germany hereby declare that the product: SoundSystem Aureon 7. 1 Universe to which this declaration refers is in compliance with the following standards or standardizing documents: EN 55022 Class B EN 55024 The following are the stipulated operating and environmental conditions for said compliance: residential, business and commercial environments and small-company environments. This declaration is based on: Test report(s) of the EMC testing laboratory The information in this document is subject to change without notice and shall not be deemed as a warranty by the seller. No warranties, express or implied, are made with regard to the quality, suitability or accuracy of this document. The manufacturer reserves the right to change the contents of this document and/or the associated products at any time without the provision of prior notice to specific persons or organizations. [. . . ] If the devices are to be permanently connected to one another in both directions, you must decide which device will provide the clock signal. The digital interfaces of the Aureon 7. 1 Universe support all bit resolutions between 8 and 24 bits, as well as all sample rates between 8 and 96 kHz. Please note that not all devices can process sample rates higher than 48 kHz. To transfer a signal recorded at 96 kHz to a minidisk recorder, it's probably necessary to convert the file(s) to 44. 1 kHz or 48 kHz first. The "Sample rate locked" function locks the sampling rate at a defined value. This function is used mainly in conjunction with games or programs which use voice over IP, to ensure that the speech is reproduced correctly and without distortion. SoundSystem Aureon 7. 1 Universe (English) 31 The language. Here, you can set the Aureon 7. 1 Universe ControlPanel to the language of your choice. Enable Taskbar This button adds an icon for the ControlPanel to your Windows taskbar, and starts the Aureon ControlPanel automatically each time the computer is restarted. The "Settings" window of the Aureon ControlPanel lets you choose from a variety of sources for digital audio output. The following source settings are available in the "Digital Out" field: At the click of the mouse: signal sources and S/PDIF filters. SPDIF sends the signal applied to the digital input directly to the digital output without losses. Analog In takes the signal from the input selected on the "Input" page and outputs it directly at the digital output. This function thus allows you to "monitor" an analog recording directly and digitally. Wavedelivers the signal output of an audio application directly to the digital output. You will need this setting to send control information as used in AC3 and DTS signals in addition to the audio data. In addition, the following parameters can be selected in all three positions: Copyright adds a copy-protection ID to the signal or filters it out when deactivating copy protection. This function sets the so-called "copy protection bit" which ensures that no digital copies can be made of the signal. Non-Audio adds information to the data stream that indicates that control information (such as channel assignments) is being transferred in addition to the audio information. Activate the Non-Audio mode when transferring AC3 or DTS audio signals from a software DVD player to an external decoder. S/PDIF enable, as you may have gathered from the name, switches the digital outputs of the Aureon 7. 1 Universe on or off. The ASIO button will take you to the settings for the so-called ASIO buffer size. A lower number of samples per buffer will reduce the time that elapses before an application issues audio signals with ASIO support. 32 SoundSystem Aureon 7. 1 Universe (English) This setting is system-dependent. On average systems with processor loads typical for a music PC, you can expect values around 7-30 ms. [. . . ] If this happens to you, the TerraTec team is happy to offer its service and support.
