Computer setup for input USB input
A good quality USB A to B cable is required to connect
the unit to the computer (not supplied).
Plug the B (square) end into the socket in the back of
the X-CAN V8P
Plug the A (rectangle) end into a free USB socket on
the computer.
The computer should detect the new hardware and
install a generic driver automatically (No setup or driver
disk required).
CD, MP3, WAV files played on any software should
now play through the X-CAN V8P. This device has
been designed to work with PC Windows 98, ME, 2000,
XP as well as Apple Macintosh OS X.
Please note:
This device is a high speed serial data processor, and by
its nature, requires a very high volume of USB
bandwidth. It will benefit greatly from being the only
device connected on its USB ‘bus’. Sharing the same
bus with other devices may cause unwanted artefacts
such as dropouts or temporary loss of signal. This
especially includes the use of the X-CAN V8P on a USB
hub/splitter alongside other USB components
