3.2.10 Receiver digital audio support
The Line In
socket on the transmitter and the Line Out
socket on the receiver are dual purpose. They can accept either
3.5mm analog jacks or mini-TOSLINK optical fibre connectors. The latter provide access to the optical
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital InterFace) capabilities supported by the Wizard DP Extender system, which transmits PCM (Pulse Code
Modulation) audio at 96KHz. The digital and analog channels run independently alongside each other via the CATx link.

Third party adaptors (not supplied) are available to convert between the mini-TOSLINK connections used on the Wizard DP
Extender units and the more common full size TOSLINK connectors found on many audio/visual devices.
3.2.10.1 To connect digital audio
1 Use either a mini-TOSLINK fibre optic cable (or a full size TOSLINK fibre optic cable plus a mini-TOSLINK adaptor) to connect the
Line Out
socket on the receiver to the digital Line In socket of the digital audio device.
Note: This digital output is fed via the main CATx link from the optical connection of the transmitter’s Line In socket only. There
is no crossover between the analog and digital audio subsystems of the Wizard DP Extender installation.
