Creative Inspire GD580 can be used with many devices — DVD players, game consoles or personal
computers. The following charts tell you the correct cables, and corresponding inputs on the decoder, to
use for each type of device. The charts are divided according to device type: set-top devices, game consoles
and personal computers.
Note: Not all cables are included with the respective devices.
*Dolby Digital signals from audio cards should be in “undecoded” form to allow Creative Inspire GD580 to
accurately decode them (see “Personal Computer User’s Chart” on page 2-2).
