    In the \ADVISOR directory of disk 1, run SETUP.EXE to install
    Setup Advisor for WIndows 3.1.  Windows 95 has plenty of diagnostic
    tools so you don't really need this there.

    Installation diskette #2 contains files required for the installation
    of the Media Rack, Presto Arranger, and Wave Editor for Windows 
    by Willow Pond.

    Installation diskette #3 contains drivers for Windows 95.

2.  INSTALLATION PROCESS

    The hard disk installation program, INSTALL.EXE, will copy the necessary
    files from the Installation disks into your hard disk. It will 
    also prompt you if you want to change your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
    files.  Use the following procedure to install the software:

    (Assuming you are using floppy drive A, and you wish to install to hard
     disk drive C)

    1. Place the disk labeled "Turtle Beach TBS Installation 1 of 1" in 
       Drive A.

    2. Type a: and press ENTER to change to Drive A.

    3. Type install and press ENTER to begin the installation.  Follow the
       on-screen instructions.

    INSTALL.EXE will do the following for you: 
    
    a.) Create the directory \TBEACH on your hard disk drive.  Two 
	directories are created beneath this, \DOSAPPS and \WIN.

    b.) Prompt you for CD-ROM and sound card options so that after you have
	finished the installation and have rebooted your machine, you will
	be ready to use the sound card & CD-ROM drive.

    c.) Copy the files from your floppy disk to the TBEACH directories and 
	Windows directory respectively.

    d.) Update your CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT and SYSTEM.INI files.
	Assuming you selected the default settings, in CONFIG.SYS, 
	the following will be added:

	  DEVICE=C:\TBEACH\CDSETUP.SYS /T:I 
          DEVICE=C:\TBEACH\TB-IDE.SYS /D:MSCD001 

        CDSETUP.SYS must come before TB-IDE.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS file.

	In AUTOEXEC.BAT: (actual values depend on installation options)

	  PATH=C:\TBEACH (appended)
	  C:\TBEACH\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:10 /E /V
	  SET SOUND16=C:\TBEACH
	  C:\TBEACH\SNDINIT /B
	  SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4

	The SET SOUND16 statement MUST come before the SNDINIT statement.

	In SYSTEM.INI:

	- [drivers]
          WAVE=SND930.DRV
          AUX=SND930.DRV
          MIDI=SND930.DRV
          MIXER=SND930.DRV
	  MIDI1=MPU401P.DRV

	  [386Enh]
          DEVICE=V930D.386

          SND930.DRV is the Base driver comprising WAVE, MIDI, MIXER and 
	  AUXILIARY audio services.
		
	  MPU401P.DRV is the external MIDI driver which requires a keyboard 
	  attached to the MIDI port.

          V930D.386 is the Virtual Device driver for Windows Enhanced Mode.
	  
    e.)   INSTALL.EXE will ask you if you'd like to install the Windows 
	  applications Media Rack and Setup Advisor.  If you answer "Y",
	  then Windows will start and you will see further installation
	  instructions.


3.  GETTING HELP ABOUT SNDINIT.EXE
 
    You can use the following command to get information about SNDINIT.EXE:

    - SNDINIT /?


4.  VOLUME CONTROL TSR PROGRAM

    The volume control memory resident program, VOLTSR.EXE, allows you to 
    change volume using hot keys while you are in a DOS application. The hot 
    keys are:

	Ctrl-Alt-U      Raises the volume
	Ctrl-Alt-D      Lowers the volume
	Ctrl-Alt-M      Mute

    For example, pressing the CTRL, ALT, and U keys will raise the volume.

    You need to load the TSR before you can use it. To load the TSR, type
    VOLTSR at the DOS prompt, or include it in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file after
    the line containing SNDINIT.EXE.

5.  KARAOKE PROGRAM

    The Karaoke.exe program allows user to control the input volume of the
    microphone on the fly with "HOT KEYS." Before using Karaoke, the
    VOLTSR.EXE program must be successfully loaded and running.

    To enable Karaoke Mode, type: "KARAOKE ON" at the DOS prompt.

    To increase MIC input, use: Ctrl-Alt-PageUp
    To decrease MIC input, use: Ctrl-Alt-PageDown

    To disable Karaoke Mode, type: "KARAOKE OFF" at the DOS prompt.


6.  CD-ROM Interface Setup Device Driver: CDSETUP.SYS

    This driver configures the on-board CDROM interface to match your CDROM
    drive. To use the driver, insert the following line to your CONFIG.SYS 
    file BEFORE the CD-ROM device driver line that you are using:
    
    DEVICE=[drive:]\[dir]\CDSETUP.SYS /T:[I/X]  

    [drive] = drive where you have the driver installed
    [dir] = directory where the driver is located
    [I/X] =       I stands for IDE (all manufacturers)
		  X stands for disabled

    For example, the following line sets up the interface for an IDE
    CD-ROM:

    DEVICE=C:\TBEACH\CDSETUP.SYS /T:I

    This kit defaults to using the IDE  CDROM drive interface.

If you re-run the installation program several times, the end of your
CONFIG.SYS statement may have extra lines which begin with:

DEVICE=C:\TBEACH\TB-IDE.SYS ...

You can delete all but the last one of the duplicated lines without worry.
Also, the beginning of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file will start to look cluttered
by a bunch of lines beginning with REM.  After you have determined that your
system is working properly, you may delete these lines as well.

Turtle Beach does not support alternate operating systems such as Unix, Xenix, 
and OS/2, only plain old DOS.  If you're running some other operating system,
we can't help you.  Sorry!!!

ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

Some Novell workstations will not allow a system to be logged on to the 
network if the line "Lastdrive=Z" is installed in the CONFIG.SYS file. 
In order to fix this problem (should it arise), please change the statement
to a drive letter under F, or simply remove the line from the CONFIG.SYS 
file. This only leaves a problem if programs similar to Stacker, Dblspace, 
Doubledisk are used, or if more than one hard disk or hard disk partition 
is present and all drive letters under F are already in use. In systems with
Stacker, where C and D are normally in use, the CD-ROM may need to be set 
to F: before it will work -- which creates problems in some Net environ-
ments.

Example: Hard disks C: and D: are present and physically separate in the 
system.  The D: drive is using Stacker or some similar disk-compression
software.  The compression approach creates a "phantom" drive, which in
this case would be E:.  You would have to set the drive letter for the
CD-ROM drive to F: before it will work.  To do this, add the switch /L:F to 
the end of your MSCDEX.EXE command line in AUTOEXEC.BAT.

In systems where there are no available drive letters under F:, 
and the network ALSO takes drive letters to Z:, the CD-ROM may not work 
at all, because there are no available drive letters.  Please let us know
if you encounter this type of problem.

The INSTALL program places the MSCDEX.EXE file at the beginning of 
AUTOEXEC.BAT.  NetWare lite may require that the MSCDEX.EXE line be loaded 
AFTER the network drivers are installed. Use a plain text editor (such as 
EDIT under DOS, or NOTEPAD or SYSEDIT under Windows) to rearrange the file.

Some versions of NETX may have problems if a Lastdrive= statement is present.  
Programs like Stacker, Double Space, Doubledisk, and Ramdrive may 
require the /L:F (or an unused drive letter other than F) to be added to 
the MSCDEX line. The default drive for the CD-ROM is the next unused drive 
letter.  For example, most users with a single hard drive will find their
CD-ROM at drive D:.  Note that multiple partitions on one drive have the 
same effect as multiple drives in that they use up drive letters.
  
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
 - Users of Extended Memory Managers:
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  
If problems are encountered using memory managers other than those 
provided with DOS (for example, QEMM, or 386MAX), they may need to be 
removed until the drive is demonstrated to work properly. We haven't seen
these types of problems, so if you encounter them, please let us know.

Some games and other programs may fail to work properly EVEN if run using
the defaults set up by MEMMAKER!  In rare instances, the device line for
EMM386.EXE may need to be set to "DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS".  This
prevents EMM386 from allocating expanded memory.

Goal number 1 should be to see the CD-ROM working FIRST, and THEN worry 
about getting it to work with your memory manager. Problems with unknown 
software may require their temporary removal from the CONFIG.SYS and 
AUTOEXEC.BAT, until the drive is shown to work properly. You can convenient-
ly place the letters REM at the beginning of any CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT 
line to keep it from affecting your system.  After the drive is shown to 
work properly with a simpler setup, the memory manager of your choice can 
be reinstalled.  We suggest that you REMark out lines one at a time so 
you'll know exactly which one is causing the conflict.

If everything works properly, you might want to try re-optimizing your 
memory configuration by using the appropriate program for your memory
manager (MEMMAKER for DOS 6.x, OPTIMIZE for QEMM users).  This could free
up some large chunks of conventional memory for use by DOS.

If you run the Installation, the following driver will be installed by
default.  However, if for some reason CD Audio doesn't work under Windows,
try the following procedure:

In order to play audio CDs under Windows, an internal Windows driver needs 
to be activated. In order to do this, please follow these steps: 

1) Place an audio CD into the CD ROM drive.
2) If you haven't already, start Windows. 
3) Go into the Main program group and double click (open) on "Control Panel". 
4) Next open "Drivers". 
5) Click on the "Add" button. 
6) Select the "[MCI] CD-Audio" driver. 
7) Click on the "OK" button. 
8) If Windows prompts you for a disk, be cooperative.
9) Exit Windows and re-start.

If everything went well, you will get a confirmation that your CD-ROM was
detected.  You will now be able to play audio CDs under Windows. To do this,
go into the Accessories group and open Media Player. Next select Device. CD
Audio should be one of the choices. You can then click on the play button or 
select tracks to your heart's content.  Check out the documentation for Media
Player for more information on using this program.  

Congratulations!  You're now more of a Windows expert than 98% of the 
population!  If you continue to have problems, please refer to the section 
towards the end of this file, "If you have CD-Audio problems".

 - Notes on using MSCDEX Version 2.23:
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

MSCDEX.EXE can (and should) be loaded high, whenever possible, in 
order to conserve base memory. EMM386.EXE (DOS 5.0 or 6.x users) may 
need to be installed in order to provide enough memory for the program 
to be loaded high. 

Some versions of MSCDEX are incompatible with some CD-ROM titles 
(giving the message: Requires MSCDEX.EXE v2.20 or greater), even though 
you may have v2.22 or v2.23 installed. The only options at this point 
would be to either obtain an older copy of MSCDEX (v2.21, which is known 
to work with these titles). Or contact the software publisher for a possible
update of the title.
 
MSCDEX.EXE should be loaded before other programs (like SMARTDRV.EXE), in 
order to help avoid problems (in the case of SMARTDRV.EXE, CD caching is 
automatic if MSCDEX.EXE is loaded before it). Exception: see section on
network users.
			     
MSCDEX.EXE uses the following command line switches:

Switch                  Description
--------                -------------
/D:(device name)        Tells MSCDEX.EXE the name of device (must 
			match the name given in the CONFIG.SYS file. 
			Please note that this name cannot be the same 
			name as the subdirectory where the files 
			reside.

/E                      Tells MSCDEX.EXE to use expanded memory (if your 
			system has expanded memory available).

/L:(drive letter)       MSCDEX.EXE starts at the drive letter specified by 
			this switch (note: The drive letter selected may not
			be greater than the letter given in the Lastdrive= 
			statement of your CONFIG.SYS file. If this switch 
			is omitted, the default will be drive (D:).

/K                      Tells MSCDEX.EXE to use any Kanji (Japanese) file 
			structures, if present, rather than the default of
			standard alphanumeric file structures.

/S                      Instructs MSCDEX.EXE to patch DOS to allow sharing 
			of CD-ROM drives on MS-NET based network servers.

/M:(value)              Tells MSCDEX.EXE how much memory to allocate for
			caching information (buffers) on the CD-ROM. For 
			best results, it should be able to be divided evenly 
			by 2. Values than 10 may provide increased perfor-
			mance in the playback of some video files. It is 
			strongly recommended that this be used in 
			conjunction with the /E switch.

/V                      Provides memory usage statistics, such as how much
			memory is used by buffers, resident data, resident 
			code, etc.


Example:
	      C:\TBEACH\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:15 /L:E /E

      where:  /D:MSCD001     identifies the device name as MSCD001.
	      /M:15          Memory caching (buffers) are set to 20 kilobytes.
	      /L:E           the CD-ROM drive letter is E.
	      /E             tells MSCDEX.EXE to load buffers into expanded 
			     memory, instead of base memory.

	      When these modifications are completed, it will be necessary 
	      to reboot your system (by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del). Be sure to
	      save your file first!

DEVICE=C:\TBEACH\TB-IDE.SYS /D:MSCD001

/D:MSCD001      Specifies the device name. This is default set to 
		"MSCD001". Any name can be chosen as long as you choose 
                the same name in both the MSCDEX.EXE and TB-IDE.SYS 
		and that name is not the same as the name of the sub 
		directory where the software resides.

/P:170,15,M     If this is not specified (as in the installation)
		then the CDROM device driver automatically scans
		known IDE ports for the CDROM drive.  If for some
		reason you want to specifically state the port and
		drive jumper settings, use this format.
		/P:(address),(IRQ),(Master or Slave)

		e.g. for Secondary master:
		/P:170,15,M
		for primary slave:
		/P:1F0,14,S

/V              Also optional, gives verbose report on boot up.

First, double check your hardware installation to be sure that you
connected all the cables properly.  Occasionally a pin gets bent or a 
cable is not pushed all the way on.  If you suspect this has happened, 
correct the problem and reboot your system.  Hopefully all will be 
hunky-dory at this point.

Otherwise, you'll have to select another address on the included sound 
card.  As before, this is accomplished by a software setup program 
(SNDINIT.EXE). 

If THIS doesn't work, you have either selected another conflicting port 
address, you have a bad data or power cable, or in rare cases your hard-
ware really IS sick.  We hope this doesn't happen, but if it does, please
call Turtle Beach Tech Support at the number given in the User's Manual for 
help.

You will also want to try using the Setup Advisor for Windows program
we've included.  This can tell you a lot about your current hardware
configuration.  Please run this program and have the results printed out
before you call Tech Support.  This makes it a lot easier for us to help
you.

See the section above, "Enabling CD-Audio under Windows". 
 
Double check the audio cable installation.  The audio cable can fit into
either of two connectors on the board.

Some sound cards have two different CD-Audio connectors that the 
supplied cable will fit into.  If you use a Mitsumi-compatible audio 
connector, you will short the audio outputs to ground which is GUARANTEED 
to cause problems.  Make sure you're using the Panasonic audio connector.
  
Make sure that you have an audio disk in the drive and are using a 
program such as Media Player to use the drive for CD-Audio.  When CD-Audio 
is playing under control of one of these programs, the busy light stays on 
as the program is constantly requesting status from the drive.
	
Most sound cards have a sound mixer control panel program that allows you
to control the level of various input sources.  Make sure that the CD-Audio
channel and the output level are turned up.  If there's a mute control, turn
it off.  Try plugging a set of headphones into the CD-ROM front panel to see
if ANYTHING is happening.  Disconnect the cable to the sound card at this 
point to see if it changes anything.  If you suddenly start to hear music, 
you most likely were shorting out the CD-Audio outputs as described above.
	
As you can tell, most of these items fall into the category of "silly

We may have given you the impression that you are likely to have problems
using your Multimedia kit.  Actually, this isn't true.  We want you to know 
that many common problems are easily remedied.  We also want you to inform 
us of truly bizarre or esoteric problems so that we can continue to provide 
all of our customers the best service possible.  It's not possible for us 
to test or know about every configuration out there.

Thanks again for selecting this product.  We really hope you get a kick out
of using it!
