S/PDIF
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) allows transfer of
digital audio from one location to another without analog
conversion; it is the standard format for exchanging digital
audio signals between consumer audio components.
Connections can be coaxial or optical.
You can connect your ALL-IN-WONDER’s audio output
directly to an S/PDIF amplifier or speaker set; for details, see
the Installation and setup User’s Guide that came with your
ALL-IN-WONDER card.
• S/PDIF is not compatible with analog audio. You must have
a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel A/V receiver to use S/PDIF;
enabling S/PDIF with an analog receiver will not provide
audio.
• If you are using regular speakers on your PC, but do not hear
audio while playing a DVD, ensure that the Enable S/PDIF
output box is not checked.
• High quality audio cables can be used for short lengths; good
75-ohm cable and good 75-ohm connectors can provide
lengths up to 25 feet.
DVD Advanced Aspect Ratio settings
When you play a DVD in full screen mode, the Advanced
Aspect Ratio settings page lets you control the width-to-height
ratio of video displayed in DVD. This feature is useful for fine-
tuning your display for wide-screen and projection TVs. Full-
screen, letterbox, and standard 4:3 aspect ratios are available.
To enable Advanced Aspect Ratio
Click the Setup button in the DVD control panel, click
the Advanced Aspect Ratio tab, then click Enable
Advanced Aspect Ratio, and select the aspect ratio.
• You can enter values in the Dynamic Aspect Ratio dialog
box, or drag the window margins using your mouse.
