Opstel instruksies

Follow these steps to connect your LiNKFOR DAC Converter:

  1. Connect Optical Input: Connect one end of the provided optical cable to the optical (SPDIF/Toslink) output port of your source device (e.g., HDTV, TV Box, Blu-ray DVD player, Game Console). Connect the other end of the optical cable to the optical input port on the LiNKFOR DAC Converter.
  2. Connect RCA Output: Connect the integrated RCA L/R cables from the LiNKFOR DAC Converter to the analog RCA L/R input ports on your audio receiving device (e.g., stereo audio system, amplifier, speakers). Ensure the red plug connects to the red (right) input and the white plug connects to the white (left) input.
  3. Koppel krag: Connect the USB power cable to the power input port on the LiNKFOR DAC Converter. Plug the other end of the USB power cable into a 5V 1A USB power source (e.g., a USB wall adapter, a USB port on your TV, or a computer USB port).
  4. Configure Source Audio Output: This is a critical step. Access the audio settings menu on your source device (HDTV, Blu-ray player, etc.) and set the digital audio output format to PCM or LPCM. The converter is not compatible with 5.1 channel signals such as Dolby AC3 or DTS.

Bedryfsinstruksies

Once the setup is complete, the LiNKFOR DAC Converter operates on a plug-and-play basis:

  1. Ensure all cables are securely connected and the USB power cable is providing power to the converter. The power indicator light on the converter should be illuminated.
  2. Power on your source device and your audio receiving system.
  3. Select the appropriate input on your audio receiving system (e.g., 'AUX', 'CD', 'Line In') that corresponds to where the RCA cables from the converter are connected.
  4. Play audio from your source device. Sound should now be output through your analog audio system.

Important Notes and Compatibility

  • The converter supports digital PCM or LPCM audio formats only.
  • Dit is nie versoenbaar nie with 5.1 channel signals such as Dolby AC3, DTS, or other surround sound formats. Ensure your source device's audio output is set to PCM/LPCM.
  • Ondersteun sampling rates include 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz, and 192kHz (24-bit SPDIF incoming bit stream).
