4. Introduction
The audio converter is an ideal expansion for TVs,
home cinemas and game consoles. Frequently, these
devices do not have all of the connections that are
required. Most often, there is a digital audio output
for connecting to a surround sound system. However,
if you want to connect to a standard stereo system or
active speakers, the required connections are often
not available.
The audio converter lets you tap into the digital
sound output using the coaxial output or the optical
output. The device converts the digital sound and
then outputs it to an analogue stereo sound output
(2 x RCA).
The converter is suitable for digital sound signals at
sampling rates up to 96 kHz and resolutions up to
24 bits, and can thus be used in almost any
situation.
5. Getting started and operation
Before installation, ensure that all devices to be
connected are switched off.
• Connect a Toslink cable (not included) to the
‘Toslink’ audio input (1) or an RCA cable (not
included) to the ‘Coaxial’ audio input (2) and to
your playback device (for example, TV, Blu-ray
player, game console).
• Now connect another RCA cable (2 RCA – 2 RCA,
not included) to the ‘R/L’ audio output (5) and to
your audio device (for example, amplifier, active
speaker).
Note
The white RCA plug connects to the LEFT audio
output, the red RCA plug to the RIGHT audio
output.
• Connect the connecting cable of the power supply
unit to the 5V DC connection (4).
• Now connect the power supply unit to an easily
accessible outlet. The power LED (3) lights up red.
