4. Connecting Audio Sources
4.2 Wired Audio
You can connect any wired audio sources
you wish to use with your SOUND HUB to its
rear panel connection sockets. These audio
sources might include a CD player, a phono
preamp equipped turntable, or a TV.
illustrates the SOUND HUB
connection sockets.
NOTE:
The USB socket found on the SOUND HUB rear
panel cannot be used for connection of an audio
source. However, it includes a power output and
can be used to charge or power a range of USB
devices. If your SOUND HUB is equipped with a
DALI NPM module, you can connect USB audio
sources to the USB socket found on this module.
We suggest that the SOUND HUB connection sockets are used for the
following audio source types:
•
OPTICAL IN:
CD player or other audio source device equipped with an
optical digital output.
•
OPTICAL IN (TV):
TV equipped with an optical digital output. If the TV is
equipped with an HDMI (ARC) connection and your SOUND HUB is fitted
with the DALI HDMI module, always use this in preference to the optical
connection.
•
COAXIAL IN:
CD player or other audio source device equipped with a coaxial
digital output.
•
RCA IN L(eft) & R(ight):
CD player, phono preamplifier or other audio source
device equipped with a line level analogue output.
•
AUX IN (mini-jack):
Portable music player or other audio source device
equipped with a line level or headphone level analogue audio output.
If your SOUND HUB is fitted with an HDMI module, this module provides an
input for HDMI ARC or eARC equipped TVs. The HDMI module also supports
Dolby Digital and DTS decoding for broadcast to multi-channel speaker
systems comprising up to 7.1 channels. Decoding is optional, as eARC TVs are
able to transmit un-encoded audio to the SOUND HUB. Installation and use of
the HDMI module is described and illustrated in
.
