This CV-509 HDMI/DVI to VGA/Component & Audio Converter offers an easy and instant approach for
converting digital HDMI to analog PC video (VGA) and component video (YPbPr) with digital audio (S/PDIF) and
analog stereo audio. With this module, YPbPr/VGA based receivers such as LCD monitors or plasma TV can be
readily connected to HDMI sources such as DVD players or PS3. In addition, the embedded HDMI / DVI selector
facilitates the switch between the HDMI and DVI input sources. This cost effective solution let you keep using your
non-HDMI/DVI display to access HDMI or DVI source, and enjoy high definition digital video and audio.
Features
zHDMI & DVI 1.0 compliant
zHDMI video supports up to 1080p
zSupports HD (1080i / 720p) component video output
zSupports up to UXGA (1600x1200@60) & WUXGA (1920x1200@60) PC graphics output

1. Power up the CV-509. Connect display to VGA/YPbPr Output.
2. To learn EDID for HDMI source, please power up CV-509 first. Secondly pull down the DIP switch 1 to ON,
and the red light will be dark and bright to indicate the EDID learning process is complete. Finally, please
remember to reboot CV-509 for updating. You DON’T NEED to pull up the DIP switch again unless you want
to learn another EDID by pulling DIP switch 1 up and down.
3. To learn EDID for DVI source, please power up CV-509 first. Secondly pull down the DIP switch 2 to ON, and
the red light will be dark and bright to indicate the EDID learning process is complete. Finally, please
remember to reboot CV-509 for updating. You DON’T NEED to pull up the DIP switch again unless you want
to learn another EDID by pulling DIP switch 2 up and down.
1. Only HDMI enabled TV sets with underscan/overscan*support, the full active video can be accurately
displayed. Some HDMI equipped TV sets may not support this feature. If underscan/overscan* is NOT
supported, the top, bottom, left and right border of the active video may be screened, and the S/PDIF audio
may not sound right.
2. Analog stereo audio can merely support 2-channel audio. This version does NOT support 8-channel analog
audio applications.
3. S/PDIF audio input supports 2-channel stereo audio input only.
4. S/PDIF supports only 48KHz audio sample rate. Other than this rate, the input digital audio should be
adjusted to 48KHz in order to get audio signal correctly sent.
