example, 6/5.1 speaker mode. You can click the Speaker Test tab and

audio, change the audio properties for WinDVD to match your speaker
configuration (if your InterVideo WinDVD program supports more than two
channels):
1 Insert a DVD, or start InterVideo WinDVD Player (see “playing dvd movies with
the intervideo windvd player” on page 55).
2 Right-click anywhere in the WinDVD video window, and then click Setup.
3 Click the Audio tab.
