Handling the Board
Caution:
Static electricity can damage your equipment. Do not take the board out of
its static protective bag until you are ready to work with it.
Follow these precautions when handling the board:
•
Before you open the static protective bag, touch it to a metal expansion slot cover on the
back of your computer. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.
• Do not touch any exposed printed circuitry after opening the package.
• Keep other people from touching the board. They might have a static-electricity buildup.
• Limit your movement. Movement causes a buildup of static electricity.

Locate an available PCI expansion slot.
Remove the slot cover screw and slot cover, if applicable.
Open the protective sleeve containing the REALmagic Hollywood Plus DVD/MPEG-2
Playback Card, grasp the circuit board by the edge of its mounting bracket, and remove
it from the protective sleeve.
Insert the REALmagic Holljrwood Plus card into the PCI expansion slot. Press down
gently on the top edges of the board to ensure that all connecting points are seated secu­
rely. Anchor the board’s mounting bracket using the screw removed earlier.
Audio Connections
The DVD/MPEG-2 Playback Card includes an internal CD Audio In connector that allows
you to pass CD audio through to the internal CD Audio In connector on your sound card.
To do this, attach the CD Audio cable from the DVD-ROM drive to the REALmagic Holly­
wood Plus DVD/MPEG-2 Playback Card, then attach another cable from the internal Line
Out port from the REALmagic Hollywood Plus to the CD Audio In connector on your
sound card. Refer to Figure 1 for the locations of these internal connectors.
The signal from the Line Out port combines the CD Audio In signal from the DVD-ROM
drive with the same signal that is output through the Stereo Output Port on the REALmagic
Hollywood Plus. This solution eliminates the external audio cable that normally goes from
the DVD/MPEG-2 Playback Card to your sound card. If you are using this solution, attach
the Pro Logic receiver to the Line Out port of your sound card to obtain the surround sound
signal. The volume for both CD audio and MPEG audio will then be controlled by the CD
Audio portion of your mixer.
Replacing the Cover
When both the DVD-ROM drive and the REALmagic Hollywood Plus card have been
installed, replace the cover of your computer and reconnect the power cord.
