capability to older machines. For this you will need to purchase and install a
USB PCI adapter, available at most computer stores.
Software Requirements
Support for USB Audio is available only with Windows 98, 98 SE, ME &
Windows 2000. It will NOT work with Windows 95 or NT 4.0.
If you are running the original Windows 98 release, you should first upgrade
the USB drivers. Start up your internet connection and click on
START , then
WINDOWS UPDATE . Select the "Windows 98 Customer Service Pack". Make
sure you re-start Windows before you connect the SL1200 for the first time.
If you encounter any problems downloading or installing the Windows 98

Connecting the SL1200
Before connecting the SL1200 for the first time, make certain you have your
original Windows installation disks available. You may need to use them to
install the proper drivers. The 1200 does not require any special drivers or
software of its own.
You are now ready to turn the stereo-link on. After you push the Power Button,
the LED next to the button will light to indicate that the power is ON.
Windows should now detect new hardware, and attempt to load the appropriate
USB drivers. If Windows does not detect new hardware when the Power is
switched ON, then try restarting your PC. Windows should detect the new
hardware when it re-starts.
The stereo-link uses the standard USB audio drivers that come with Windows.
The actual procedure may vary a little, depending on whether you have installed
a USB audio device and how Windows was installed on your PC. Windows will
need to install 3 types of drivers, all of which should be on your hard disk
already or on the Windows 98 installation CD. To make certain everything is
set up properly, you should restart Windows before trying to use the
