1 Pcs PC Player PC0101
1 Pcs 230 VAC / 12 VDC Power Adapter
1 Pcs Stereo Audio Cable (2xRCA - 3,5mm jack)
Application
The PC Player PC0101 is a single channel FM stereo
modulator with balanced outputs dedicated for the
ELKO Link Home system. The PC0101 can be connec-
ted to any audio source and creates from the LF signal
a FM radio channel that can be distributed with in the
ELKO Link Home system, which can be received at any
radio or stereo Hi Fi unit, connected to the system.
The PC0101 is especially dedicated to distribute stereo
audio signals from your home PC (such as MP3 music,
Internet radio, movie sound etc.). The principal
illustration on the back shows how the individual
units are installed in the system.
Installation
• The PC0101 has two input jacks (RCA) for the audio
line (marked "L" and "R"). These are connected to the
PC sound card (audio output) or to the audio equip-
ment in question.
• The PC0101 has an RJ45 output supplying the FM
radio channel (marked "AV link"). The output is conn-
nected to a separate wall outlet using a STP patch
cord (min cat. 5).
• Further, the output signal is distributed into the AV link
port of the multimedia amplifier mounted in the distri-
bution centre.
• The power adapter is connected to the 12 VDC
power input.
• Further an IR link output is available on the PC0101
in case the Audio source can and shall be operated
from a remote control (requires installation of ELKO
Link Home IR link system).
Configuration
The PC Player PC0101 modulates the incoming LF
Stereo signal to a Stereo FM radio channel.
The PC0101 has a chart of 84 pre-programmed radio
channels (frequencies) that can be set as output. The
radio frequency to be selected (programmed) depends
on which frequencies already are occupied and which
are free (not used by existing radio stations) in the FM
band of the antenna signals.
In the PC0101, 4 main frequencies can be selected,
these are 90 MHz, 95 MHz, 100 MHz and 105 MHz.
Around these main frequencies, in steps of 0,1 MHz,
another 10 channels above and 10 channels below can
be selected.
The total range of possible frequencies is:
89,0 - 91,0 MHz (21 channels)
94,0 - 96,0 MHz (21 channels)
99,0 - 101,0 MHz (21 channels)
104,0 - 106,0 MHz (21 channels)
Once a suitable radio channel (frequency) has been
determined, this has to be set in the PC0101.
The 3 push buttons marked "UP", "SEL" and "DWN"
are used for the programming purpose. Pressing the
"SEL" button for min. 2 seconds starts the programming
– and having not pressed any button for 10 seconds
exits the programming again.
”SEL”
This push-button both enables the programming mode
and afterwards shifts between the 4 main frequencies
at each time being pressed. First, keep the button
pressed for more than 2 seconds to enable programm-
ming. Secondly, press the button a number of times
until the desired main frequency is reached.

”DWN”
Each time being pressed, this button shifts 1 channel
down (of 0,1 MHz) from the main frequency selected.
10 steps are available moving 1 MHz down in total.
When pressed more than 10 times no action is caused
and an indication of this is shown by flashing 2 times
the LED.
”UP”
Each time being pressed, this button shifts 1 channel
up (of 0,1 MHz) from the main frequency selected. 10
steps are available moving 1 MHz up in total.
When pressed more than 10 times no action is cau-
sed and an indication of this is shown by flashing 2
times the LED.
The factory set radio channel at the first power up is
90,0 MHz.
The PC0101 will always memorise the radio channel
programmed while powered off, and will continue to
send out the latest programmed channel when powered
up again.
All stereo Hi Fi receivers connected to the system
can now receive the stereo signal from i.e. the home
PC, once these are tuned in to the radio channel of the
PC0101.
Adjustments
No adjustments of the PC0101 are necessary.
However, if the sound is significantly distorted it may be
caused be oversteering of the PC0101 input. This
should be adjusted from the volume control of the PC
connected (or other audio equipment).
