1. INTRODUCTION
The Digital Audio Converter with Dual Outputs will convert between
Coaxial and Optical digital audio formats. This compact and
convenient unit accepts a stereo or surround (up to 5.1 channels)
audio signal through either Coaxial cable or Optical cable, and
passes the unchanged signal to both its Coaxial and Optical output
ports. With its built-in signal enhancement feature, the unit also serves
as a repeater of digital audio signals to extend up to double the
transmission distance.
2. APPLICATIONS
• Convert an Optical digital signal to a Coaxial digital signal
• Convert a Coaxial digital signal to an Optical digital signal
• Distribute digital audio to 2 locations
• Extend your Optical or Coaxial cable distances
3. PACKAGE CONTENTS
• Digital Audio Converter with Dual Outputs
• 5 V/1.2 A Power Adaptor
• Operation Manual
4. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Digital audio source device such as DVD or CD player with Optical or
Coaxial cables and audio output device such as an amplier or AV
receiver with Optical or Coaxial digital input.
5. FEATURES
• Supports two-way conversion: coaxial to optical or optical to
coaxial
• Supports input audio signals from 2 channels to up to 5.1 channels,
output signal follows input
• Supports signal enhancement of S/PDIF audio and extends the
transmission distance, through coaxial and/or optical cables
• Select one input from coaxial or optical input ports, and send
the S/PDIF audio signal to both coaxial and optical output ports
simultaneously
• Compact and easy to use
