Typical Applications
Example 1
In this component video application, the DVD player and the game console have Toslink audio out-
puts, however the HD cable box has only SPDIF and L/R analog audio outputs, both of which must
be used. The HDS4 will internally convert the SPDIF to Toslink for the output, but the L/R analog
audio is not converted, and must also be connected to the AV receiver. Set your AV receiver to auto
mode so that it will pick the best source of audio.
This example shows both a Front Projection TV and a Small 4:3 standard resolution TV. This is typ-
ical of a setup where the smaller TV is normally used for viewing local news, daytime TV, etc. and
the Projection TV is used only for home theater viewing.
The projection TV has been connected to the buffered output (OUT2), this setup assumes the pro-
jection TV is located further from the HDS4.2 than the smaller TV, therefore the buffered output is
used to drive the longer cables.
In this setup the smaller TV also serves to terminate the HDS4.2’s passive output.
