Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The Digital Audio Converter allows one (1) source of digital audio signal: coax
(S/PDIF) or optic (TOSLINK) to be converted to an optic or a coax signal respectively.
It supports most standards used to transmit two channels of uncompressed lossless PCM
audio or compressed 5.1/7.1 surround sound such as Dolby Digital Plus or DTS-HD
High Resolution Audio (multichannel digital audio Dolby Digital® 5.1, DTS, and
Dolby® True HD).

Installation
One unit can be connected to convert coax source to optic fiber source. You can use it
also to convert an optical fiber source to a coax source. Both directions can be used at
same time. To install the unit, perform the following steps:
Caution: Do not attempt to open the housing. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside the unit. Opening the unit will void your warranty.
Do not connect the unit to a telecommunication outlet wired to unrelated
equipment. Making such a connection may damage the equipment and/or
the unit. Verify that the desired twisted pairs are not being used for other
LAN or telephone equipment.
1. Connect a coax and an optic fiber between your source and your AV system. Be sure
you are using the right input and output connector.
2. Connect the 5V power supply.
