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.
