Guide
7.1 Introduction
Xonar D2X provides the Portable Music Processor
TM
(referred to as PMP hereafter)
software tool that contains the following features:
• Converts MP3, WMA, AAC (iTunes required), Audio CD, WAVE into WMA or
MP3 les with the same ID3 information and post processor effects
• Adds Dolby Headphone processing to regular music content for a better
listening experience over stereo headphones
• Adds Dolby Virtual Speaker (w/ Pro-Logic II) effect to regular music for virtual
5.1 surround over stereo speakers
• Normalizes the volume level of your music collection with Smart Volume
Normalization (SVN) effect
• Provides Analog Loopback Transformation (ALT) technology for high-quality
(118dB SNR) accelerated analog recording
• Supports MP3 and WMA encoding formats for 128~320Kbps data rates
(Windows Media Player 10 or later version and MP3, WMA codecs are
required)
• Supports transformation speed up to a maximum of 40 times of the normal
playback speed (High Speed mode). (The maximum speed is just for your
reference because it’s related to your PC’s performance and the sound effects
you choose to add. Using ALT recording technology will be limited up to 2X
speed on Windows XP. On Vista, the speed will be currently limited to normal
1X all the time.)
• As of this writing, iTunes is not available for Windows Vista. As a result,
converting iTunes music on Vista is not supported.
• If you are going to convert copyright protected music with ALT, you must
have valid and legal right to access and play the content. PMP is just a
software tool to record the playback analog output signal. Please be careful
to abide by the agreement with your content provider.

completed:
