7.1 Introduction
Xonar DX provides the Portable Music Processor TM (referred to as PMP hereafter)

• Converts MP3, WMA, Audio CD, WAVE into WMA or MP3 files 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. surround over stereo speakers
• Normalizes the volume level of your music collection with Smart Volume
Normalization (SVN) effect
• Supports MP3 and WMA encoding formats for 2~320Kbps data rates
(Windows Media Player 9 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.
Before you use PMP software, make sure the following items have been
completed:
. Xonar DX Audio Card has been installed in your PC.
2. The Xonar DX driver has been installed (Xonar DX audio converter driver is
installed for PMP utility)
3. You will also need an MP3 encoder installed to encode music into MP3
format (If you don’t have this already, the Xonar U installer will provide a
guide message to download a free MP3 encoder)
After PMP is installed, you will find a PMP shortcut icon on the desktop. Double
click the icon and PMP will show up as below.
