TOSLINK Matrix Switch 4x2
Item no. 649986
Intended use
The product provides four optical inputs and two optical outputs (each one of them TOSLINK
sockets).
The inputs can be toggled using the buttons on the switch or the IR remote control enclosed.
As a special feature, one input can even be switched to the two outputs.
The external wall plug transformer enclosed is used to supply power to the switch. The IR
remote control is operated via a battery of type “CR2025” (included).
Always observe the safety instructions and all other information included in these operating
instructions.

Safety instructions
Please read all instructions before using this device, they include important
information on its correct operation.
The warranty will be void in the event of damage caused by failure to observe
these safety instructions! We do not assume any liability for any resulting
damage!
We shall not accept liability for damage to property or personal injury caused
by incorrect handling or non-compliance with the safety instructions! In such
cases, the warranty will be null and void.
• The unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the product is not permitted for safety
and approval reasons (CE). Never dismantle the product.
• The product is not a toy. Devices operated using mains voltage do not belong in the hands of
children. Therefore, be especially careful when children are around.
Use the product where it is out of the reach of children.
• The product is intended for use only in dry, indoor locations. No part of the product should
become damp or wet; never handle it if your hands are wet!
Wall plug transformers have the potential to cause a fatal electric shock!
• The design of the wall plug transformer complies with Protection Class II. Use only a standard
mains socket as the power source for the wall plug transformer.
The mains socket into which the wall plug transformer is plugged must be easily accessible.
• Use only the external wall plug transformer supplied to power the switch.
• Do not pull the wall plug transformer from the mains socket by pulling on the cable. Hold it on
the sides of the casing and pull it out of the mains socket.
• If the wall plug transformer is damaged, do not touch it; there is a life-threatening electric
shock hazard!
First, switch off the mains voltage to the socket to which the wall plug transformer is con-
nected (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety fuse or switch off
at the corresponding RCD protective switch, so that the socket is fully disconnected).
You can then unplug the wall plug transformer from the mains socket. Dispose of the faulty
wall plug transformer in an environmentally friendly way, do not use it any more. Replace it
with a wall plug transformer of the same design.
• Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around, since it could become a dangerous
plaything for children.
• Handle the product with care; it can be damaged by impacts, blows, or accidental falls, even
from a low height.
Version 11/14
General battery instructions
• Batteries should be kept out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave batteries lying around in the open; there is a risk of them being swallowed by
children or pets. If they are swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
• Leaking or damaged batteries can lead to caustic burning of the skin. Therefore, use suitable
protective gloves.
Liquids leaking from batteries are very chemically aggressive. Objects or surfaces coming
into contact with these liquids might be considerably damaged. Thus, store batteries in a
suitable location.
• Batteries must not be short-circuited, opened or thrown into a fire. There is a risk of explosion!
• Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries, there is a risk of explosion!
• Make sure that the battery is inserted into the IR remote control according to the correct
polarity (pay attention to po and negative/-).
Inserting/replacing the battery
• Normally, the battery is already inserted into the IR remote control by the manufacturer.
Simply pull out the protective plastic strip from the IR remote control (it merely serves as a
protection from an early discharge of the battery). The IR remote control is now operational.
• It is necessary to change the battery when the IR range reduces or the switch no longer
reacts to the control commands of the IR remote control.
Pull the battery holder out of the IR remote control.
Replace the flat battery by a new one of type “CR2025”. When inserting the battery pay at-
tention to the correct polarity (see imprint “+” on the battery and the battery holder).
Place the battery holder with the battery inside, back into the IR remote control observing the
correct orientation.
Dispose of the old, empty battery with respect to protection of the environment; see chapter
“Disposal”.
Connection and getting started
a) Setup and connection
• Connect the four optical inputs (“INPUT 1”..... “INPUT 4”) to your playback devices, e.g. a
Blu-ray player, a game console etc., using a suitable optical cable.
• Connect the optical outputs “OUT-A” or “OUT-B” via an optical cable e.g. to the correspond-
ing input of an amplifier or surround-sound speaker set.
• Connect the low voltage round plug from the enclosed wall plug transformer to the corre-
sponding socket on the switch.
• Plug the wall plug transformer into a mains socket.
• Place the switch so that the round opening for the IR receiver (labelled with “IR” on the front
of the switch) is exposed. Do not cover it; otherwise an operation and control of the switch via
IR remote control is not possible.
• Protect the surfaces of valuable furniture by using an appropriate underlay to avoid scratches
and pressure marks.
b) Turning the switch on/off
Briefly press the on/off button “/I” on the front side of the switch to turn it on or off (when the
device is switched off, the stand-by LED to the left of the on/off button lights up).
Alternatively, point the LED at the front of the IR remote control at the switch and press the
“ ” button briefly.
c) Selecting the input
For each of the two outputs “OUT-A” or “OUT-B” you can assign any input. You can see which
input is allocated to the corresponding output by checking the LEDs that light up on the front of
the switch when the latter is turned on.
For this purpose, the LED “A” stands for the output “OUT-A”, the LED “B” for the output “OUT-
B”, the LEDs “1” to “4” for the respective inputs “INPUT 1” to “INPUT 4”.
The required input can be selected in two ways:
• Press the “A” or “B” button on the switch briefly till the desired input is activated and the as-
sociated LED on the front side of the switch lights up.
• There are four keys on the IR remote control for the output “A” or “B” to directly select one of
the four inputs. Point the LED on the front side of the IR remote control at the switch and then
briefly press one of the buttons “1”, “2”, “3” or “4” of the associated output “A” or “B”.
It is also possible to assign one of the four inputs to both outputs “A” and “B” simul-
taneously. Thus, the switch can also be used as splitter.
