How to connect the HBC 1 base station
1. Connect the headphone cable of the MMX 300 to the headphone socket
of the HBC 1
base station by using the 1/4" adapter (6.35 mm). Connect the microphone cable of the
MMX 300 headset to the microphone input of your PC or game console. If necessary, use the
supplied extension cable with mini stereo jack plug (3.5 mm).
Important: When connecting the headset please ensure that the volume is turned down to
minimum (i.e. turn the multifunction control
to the very left). Adjust the volume after
putting on the headset.
2. Connect a game console, PC sound card, DVD/Blu-ray player or CD player to the S/PDIF input
or
. Stereo signals as well as encoded surround signals such as Dolby Digital or DTS
®
can
be
transmitted via the digital S/PDIF connection. The format is automatically recognised by the
HBC 1 base station and indicated by the illuminating, appropriate “Input Format” LED
on
the front.
Use the supplied optical cable to connect the optical S/PDIF input
or the supplied coaxial
cable with an impedance of 75 ohms, if you use the coaxial S/PDIF input
. The maximum
length is 10 metres, if you would like to use a longer coaxial cable.
3. Switch the “Input select” switch
to the “Optical” or “Coaxial” position, depending on the
S/PDIF input to which the audio source has been connected.
The signal of the selected input is also available at the optical S/PDIF output
and can be
routed to other devices.
4. Connect the supplied power supply to the DC socket
.
Important:
•
Connecting any power supply other than the beyerdynamic device included can
damage the HBC 1 base station.
•
If you want to unplug the power supply from the HBC 1 base station, turn off the base
station with the standby button
first. The appropriate LED will illuminate red.
5. The optical S/PDIF output
in the TOSLINK format is used to route the digital audio signal
to other devices (e.g. another HBC 1 base station). The connection always provides the
identical signal of the selected S/PDIF input. Depending on the position of the “Input select”
switch
the optical S/PDIF output provides the signal of the optical
or the coaxial S/PDIF
input
.
