CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE HDMI TO DVI AUDIO ADAPTER

How to Connect the HDMI to DVI Audio Adapter

1.  Connect the HDMI source device to the HDMI input on the HDMI to DVI Audio  

Adapter using the supplied HDMI cable.

2.  Connect the DVI capable output device to the DVI output on the HDMI to DVI 

Audio Adapter using a user supplied DVI cable.

3.  Connect a TOSLINK capable audio output device to the TOSLINK output on 

the HDMI to DVI Audio Adapter using a user supplied TOSLINK cable.

NOTE: 

By default, the HDMI to DVI Audio Adapter will use the EDID from the 

DVI device connected to the output. In most cases a DVI EDID will not carry any 
audio information, and in most cases the HDMI source device will require audio 
information in the EDID it reads to set the right audio output format and type. To 
compensate for this eventuality, the HDMI to DVI Audio Adapter carries preset 
EDID’s that contain specifi c audio fl ags. To enable a preset EDID, please see page 
7. The preset EDID must be set before proceeding to the next step. 

4.  Connect the included 5V DC power supply to the HDMI to DVI Audio Adapter 

and an open wall power socket. 

How to Operate the HDMI to DVI Audio Adapter

No further confi guration is required to operate the HDMI to DVI Audio Adapter. If, 
however, the audio format needs to be changed, please refer to the next section 
on instructions on how to change preset EDID modes.
