Operation notes
• The USB power source port must be connected to a USB power
source such as a computer or a USB power adapter. This is required
in all congurations for the adapter to operate.
• For SPDIF audio, connect the included Toslink adapter to the
3.5mm analog and SPDIF output port, then connect your SPDIF
cabling to the adapter.
• If, once connected, the output of your destination device plays
static with no audio, it’s likely your source device is set to bit
stream audio (unprocessed). As a result it will be necessary to
adjust this setting to PCM (Pulse-code modulation) in the output
settings of your audio source device. Please consult the manual
included with your HDMI source device for instructions.
