Table 2: How upmixing maximises the usage of your GigaWorks S750
Understanding Upmixing
With the Upmix feature, the 5.1
or 6.1-channel content can be
played through all seven satellite
speakers on your GigaWorks. This
creates a 7.1-channel sound field
that improves side and rear
imaging.
This Upmix feature is also found
on other Creative audio products;
you should only enable upmixing
on either your audio device
or
your
GigaWorks S750 (but not both).
The table below shows you when
you should bypass the upmixing
feature on your speakers. The
upmix feature only applies to a 5.1
and 6.1 signal from the output
source device. Auxiliary and
M-PORT analog stereo inputs are
unaffected.
