Sonica Theater

USB 7.1 Surround Sound Card

This guide is intended to help get you started quickly.

In order to achieve optimal usage of your new

soundcard we recommend that you carefully study the

enclosed product manual, either after completing the

process described in this guide or, if generally

unfamiliar with computer hardware installation.

Quick Start Guide

Step 1 - Run the Installer

Insert the included Install CD-ROM into your CD or DVD drive, then

double-click on the install program icon in the window that appears.

Proceed by following the on-screen directions.

If you are installing under Microsoft Windows, you may experience the

appearance of a “Windows Driver Signing” dialog box several times during

the installation process.When this box appears, click “Continue Anyway.”

This dialog box appears because the Audiophile USB is a relatively

new product. While the Sonica Theater drivers are still in the process

of Microsoft certification at the time of this manual writing, we

assure you that they are of the highest quality and will cause no

problems when installed in your system.

If you are installing your Audiophile USB on a PC, you will have to restart

the computer after driver installation has been completed.

Step 2 - Connect the USB Cable

Connect the supplied USB cable to your Audiophile USB, then to an open

USB port on your computer.

Step 3 - Connect the Speakers

A typical system using the Sonica Theater contains between two and

eight speakers.
