Home Theater Setup
Connect the DXL1 to your Xbox 360 as described in the previous section and then use an HDMI cable or red/white RCA
plugs on the Xbox 360 A/V cable to send audio to the home theater speakers or TV. Setting up the DXL1 as illustrated below
lets you hear your Xbox 360 on your home theater speakers without disconnecting the optical cable from the DSS2. To hear the
game audio only on the headset, turn down or mute your home theater speakers.

NOTE: Older Xbox 360 models require an Xbox 360 HDMI
Audio Adapter Cable for optical audio output (sold separately).
If your HDTV has an optical AUDIO OUT jack, you can use it
to connect the optical cable to the DSS2 and feed sound from
the gaming console to the DSS2.
Connecting a Digital Music Player
The DSS2 features an auxiliary input and analog input for connecting digital music players. Both inputs will allow you to connect a
digital music player or other analog source, but with different functionality:
Auxiliary Input
The auxiliary input functions as a stereo pass-thru and bypasses all audio processing so you can have surround sound and EQ
effects on the game audio without affecting the music from the digital music player.
(NOTE: The volume control on the DSS2 does not affect the volume of the auxiliary input. The auxiliary input volume can be adjusted directly from the
digital music player.)
Analog Input
If the surround sound on the DSS2 is turned ON, the analog input signal will be processed by the surround sound virtualization. If
the surround sound is turned OFF on the DSS2, the analog input signal will not be processed by the surround sound, but EQ presets
can still be selected to modify the analog audio signal.
(NOTE: If the digital optical cable is connected and a digital audio signal is detected, the analog input will be deactivated. Turn OFF the digital signal or
disconnect the optical cable to activate the analog input.)
