Decoding with an external decoder or home theater receiver
You can use an external decoder to process Dolby Digital, DTS, DTS-ES or Dolby Digital EX signals from your Sound Blaster X-Fi device (such as Sound Blaster X-Fi audio card, Digital I/O Module*, X-Fi I/O Drive* or X-Fi I/O Console*) and output the content to 5.1 and 7.1 speakers.
Alternatively, you can use a home theater receiver to decode Dolby Digital or DTS signals to 5.1 speakers.
For more information on external decoders or home theater receivers, the associated speaker connection settings, or how to set up your DVD player software to use the digital output, please consult the relevant User's Guide.
