The SPEAKER CONFIGURATION switch is used to select the type of
speaker system that you will be connecting to the Creative Decoder
DDTS-100.
Select 6.1/7.1 if you are using a 6.1 or 7.1 speaker system. To experience the
full potential of Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES encoded program material, we
recommend using 6.1 or 7.1 speaker systems.
Select 5.1 if you are using a 5.1 speaker system. This is to prevent the loss of
program content when playing back Dolby EX and DTS-ES encoded
program material.
The diagrams below show the recommended switch settings and
connections to Creative 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 speaker systems.
