The Creative GigaWorks S750
and S700 have moderately high
input sensitivity, so they may
amplify the hum and hiss inherent
in some audio program sources.
Any background noise you hear is
not due to a fault in the speaker
system. You can minimize
background noise as follows:
❒
Use the remote control as your
master volume control.
❒
If your speaker system is
connected to a computer, adjust the
settings of your computer’s sound
control software. (If you are using
Creative Sound Blaster software,
this would be the Surround Mixer
application). Turn off any input
controls that you do not need, such
as Microphone, and set the
remaining input controls to about
70% of their maximum volume.
❒
Adjust the master output volume of
your sound control software, such
that your speaker system reaches a
comfortably loud volume in its
default volume settings.

The Audio Control Pod’s Auxiliary
input connector allows you to mix
an audio program source (Auxiliary
Analog Input) with the main 7.1-
channel program source.
In addition, the M-PORT input
lets you hear audio directly from an
M-PORT compatible Creative
portable digital audio player, with-
out routing through a computer.
The main 7.1 channel output is
always audible; if both the Auxiliary
and M-PORT inputs are used, the
Auxiliary input will be heard instead
of the M-PORT input.
Table 3 lists what sounds you will
hear when using multiple inputs in
different ways.
Note: In certain situations, you may
require additional cables that are
available separately.
