The headset also includes a boom microphone, making it ideal for communicating with team mates while playing games, or friends, family and colleagues via voice communication software.

Installation

Stereo

Plug the green mini jackplug into the PC, CD or MP3 player's sound out socket. Make sure "stereo" is selected on the sliding "stereo/5.1" switch on the headphone control unit. Turn the stereo volume rotary control to the minimum and on your PC's sound or media player controls, increase the volume level to about three quarters. With music playing or with the game started, gradually increase the volume to the desired level by turning the volume control on the headset control unit. If you want to use the microphone, plug the pink mini jackplug into the computer's sound in or microphone socket.

5.1 Surround Sound

Plug the USB cable into one of your computer's free USB ports.

Insert the driver CD in the CD drawer of your PC. When prompted, open the CD and select the XP

or Vista folder depending on your PC's operating system. Click on the .exe file and follow on-screen instructions to install the driver software. When prompted, restart your PC.

Make sure "5.1" is selected on the sliding "stereo/5.1" switch on the headphone control unit and repeatedly press "volume -" to ensure the headphone volume level is at 0 before you put the headphones on.

With music playing or with the game started, gradually increase the volume to the desired level by pressing the "volume +" button on the headset control unit.

WARNING: Prolonged use at high volume may damage your hearing.

To change the sound settings of the Saitek Cyborg 5.1 Headset, click on the USB 3D 106 Sound configuration icon at the bottom right of your desktop. The Main Setting screen should appear.

You can use the Main Setting screen to adjust the output settings of the on-board sound card. Select two speakers for simple stereo, 4 or 6 speakers for 3.1 sound and 5.1 surround sound. Every time you select a different configuration, the new settings will be demonstrated through your headphones and the configuration shown in the graphic on the right.

You can also swap speaker positions within the 5.1 surround sound set-up. Click on the settings hammer icon to open the speaker environment window and click the check boxes to customise speaker positions or to enhance bass.

The Mixer tab allows you to change the volume and mix settings of the various sound inputs to your PC such as microphone, CD player etc.

The Effect tab lets you change equaliser settings to suit the type of music you are listening to. You can also add effects such as reverb to emulate listening in a large hall or make the speakers seem nearer to your ears or further away.

The Karaoke/Magic Voice tab allows you to sing along to your music. Click the On switch to activate the boom microphone on your headset.

We have also included a Surround Sound demo and a game. To play these, go to Windows Start>Programs>C Media USB 106 and select "helicopter" to demonstrate 5.1 Surround Sound or "Rockwar" to play a game.

Troubleshooting

My computer is turned on, music playing on the media player, but I cannot hear any sound through the Cyborg headphones.

This may be due to the PC using an incorrect sound device to play music. To rectify this, please follow the simple steps below:

1 Quit your media/dvd player application and then re-open it. You should now hear sound through the headphones.
2 If you still cannot hear sound through the headphones, go to Windows Start, Settings, Control Panel, select Sounds and Audio devices, Audio Device tab, and from the Sound Playback dropdown menu, select C Media USB 106 as default audio device. Click Apply to select. When you have closed the control panel window, restart your Media Player.
