To configure Prodigy 7.1 HiFi for 5.1 or 7.1 channel surround sound DVD player applications, go

to Control Panel → Sounds and Audio Device Properties → Audio and select “Prodigy 7.1 HiFi” as

the preferred playback device.

Note: You must check double check that the DMA modus is enabled on your DVD-ROM drive in order to

have audio playback without clicks and crackles when playing DVD or CD content.

Set speaker configurations in your software DVD player to “6 Speaker”, “5.1 speakers” or “8

Speaker” or “7.1 speakers”, depending on the software you are using. The following table shows a

typical 5.1 speaker setup:

Please note that this order may be different depending on the Windows version you are using and

depending on the DVD playback software that is used.

Please also keep in mind that many DVD titles only have content for 6 audio channels (5.1) rather

than 8 (7.1) – because of that, it might be better or required to setup your playback software for 6

speakers only.
