If you’re installing Montego DDL in a PC running Windows XP or Media Center Edition or Vista, please
skip this section.
The analog CD connector is not used in Windows XP or Media Center Edition because the digital
CD audio signal is sent directly through the PCI bus in digital format by default. In Windows 2000,
the CD signal may also be set to digital mode, making the analog CD connector unnecessary if this
option is selected.
To configure Windows 2000 for digital CD audio operation:
1.
Open the
Device Manager
by right-clicking the My Computer icon on your desktop.

All CD-ROM drives that adhere to the MPC-2 (Multimedia PC) standard have an MPC-2 jack.
Connect the MPC-2 connector to your CD-ROM drive's analog CD audio output. (The cable to
connect this analog signal should have been provided with your CD-ROM drive and is not included
with Montego DDL.) Then attach the connector to the CD Audio header on the Montego DDL. The
CD audio cable should be plugged into the CD-ROM drive first; then the other end of the cable
should be plugged into the appropriate connector on the Montego DDL sound card.
