feature to turn it on. Then notice how moving the slider towards the left and right shifts the
pitch down and up from the original. When you’re done, click the Enable button again to
turn off the effect.
Using the Center Canceller
The Center Canceller in the Effects Tab removes the center channel in a song. Since the
vocals are typically panned to the center, this effect may be used to reduce vocals in a song.
Use Windows Media Player to play a song with voice in the center, click the Enable button
in the Center Canceller section, then move the slider to the right
side (+) and notice how the center channel is cancelled. When
you’re done, click the Enable button again to turn off the effect.

Whenever a Sound Effect has been Enabled, the Settings
Summary in the Speakers Tab indicates which effect has
been turned on. This lets you easily see if the sound is
being modified by the effects, without having to search the
Control Panel tabs.
Listening to DVDs
Watching DVDs on your PC requires DVD software (e.g. Cyberlink PowerDVD,
InterVideo WinDVD, etc,) that is usually included with the DVD player installed on your
PC. Multi-channel DVD audio is encoded in either Dolby Digital or DTS, both of which
compress 5.1 channels of audio into a single digital audio stream.
ƒ When using Amigo’s line/headphone output to play DVD sound, set the DVD player
software to play stereo audio.
ƒ When using Amigo’s S/PDIF digital output to play DVD multi-channel sound via
Dolby Digital or DTS, the digital audio signal is split into 5.1 channels by a decoder chip
inside the digital speaker system or A/V receiver in your home theater system. In this
case, set the DVD player software to play 5.1 surround sound audio via S/PDIF.
Using the Digital Audio Output
To use the digital audio output for playing DVD audio, connect a TOSLINK optical cable
to Amigo S/PDIF output by inserting the included optical adapter into the Line Output
jack. Then connect the other end of the TOSLINK cable to your digital speakers or an A/V
receiver. The TOSLINK optical cable is available at
www.TurtleBeach.com or at many
consumer electronics retailers.
⇒
Note that the digital speakers and A/V receiver must have an integrated Dolby
Digital Decoder to process the digital 5.1 signal.
In Windows 2000/XP… set the S/PDIF settings pull-down menu in the Amigo control
panel to S/PDIF Out 48kHz, to transmit the digital signal. Note that when the digital
output is enabled, you can see a red light inside the digital optical output or at the end of the
optical cable plugged into the digital output.
