Shut your computer down and insert the Revolution PCI card into an
empty PCI slot. For specific instructions on how to do this, please refer to
the Revolution Manual, Hardware Setup section.
Step 2 - Install the Drivers:
Start your computer up. Have your CD ROM ready at hand and insert it in
your computer’s CD ROM tray as the Windows Hardware Wizard comes
up. When it does, click “Recommended.” Windows will automatically find
the hardware drivers from the CD ROM.
Attention: If you are a Windows 2000 or Windows Me user, you must
have Direct X 8.1 installed in your system before installing the
Revolution software. Direct X 8.1 is included on the driver CD for
your convenience.

Connect the Left, Right, Center, Subwoofer, Left Surround, and Right
Surround speakers to the jacks on the Revolution. You can connect an
additional two speakers for Left Center and Right Center Surround if you
have them.
Step 4 - Test your Installation:
Play a DVD or other surround movie to enjoy your new surround system.
