3. How to use the ES938 (3D-sound effect) control

3.1 DOS ES1868 + ES938 Control (only for the 3D model # 2306 - ES1868+ES938)

• Boot up the hard disk and log into the "938DOS" directory.
• Type "ES1868 + ES938CTL / parameter" at the DOS prompt. The parameter is the optional functions of the ES1868 + ES938 3D-Sound Effect control. The syntax of the complete command is described as below :
  • ES1868 + ES938CTL (/S:[0-3])(/B:[0-7])(/T:[0-7])
  • /S - Set Spatializer Level 0-Off, 1-Low, 2-Medium, 3-High
  • /B - Set Bass Level (0 thru 7)
  • /T - Set Treble Level (0 thru 7)
  • e.g. "ES1868 + ES938CTL /S:3" means enable the highest 3D-Sound Effect.

3.2 Windows 3.1 ES1868 + ES938 Control (only for the 3D model # 2306 - ES1868+ES938)

Moving the mouse up or down at this time will adjust the treble level, you then release the finger once you think the bass level is satisfied.
• Spatializer check box is used to control the 3D-Sound Effect strength level. There are four levels : Off (means no 3D-Sound Effect); Min (means the least 3D-Sound Effect); Mid (means more 3D-Sound Effect); Max (means the most 3D-Sound Effect). It is very easy to change the setting, clicking on the check box (you will see a X in the check box) will make the changing.
