Intended use
This product is designed to convert a digital audio signal into an analogue audio signal. It allows connection
of an audio source with digital audio output (cinch / coaxial, TOSLINK / S/PDIF) to an output device with
analogue input.
The input signal to the converter (cinch / coaxial or TOSLINK / S/PDIF) can be selected via a switch on the
product. The audio output can be done via an audio cable with cinch plugs or via headphones with a 3.5 mm
jack plug. Power is supplied via the included power adaptor or an external USB power source, such as a
computer (Mini-USB cable not included in delivery). The operation indicator indicates when the converter is
supplied with power.
It is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with moisture, e.g. in bathrooms, must be
avoided under all circumstances.
For safety and approval purposes (CE), you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. If you use the
product for purposes other than those described above, the product may be damaged. In addition, improper
use can cause hazards such as short circuiting, fire, electric shock etc. Read the instructions carefully and
keep them. Make this product available to third parties only together with its operating instructions.

Safety instructions
Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety information.
If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on proper handling in this
manual, we assume no liability for any resulting personal injury or damage to property.
Such cases will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.
a) Persons / Product
• Only connect devices to the connectors of the converter that have matching connectors.
• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
• As power supply, only use the supplied mains adaptor.
• Only connect the power adaptor to a normal mains socket connected to the public supply. Before plugging
in the power adaptor, check whether the voltage stated on the power adaptor complies with the voltage
of your electricity supplier.
• Never connect or disconnect power adaptors if your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the power adaptor from the mains socket by pulling on the cable; always use the grips on
the plug.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cable is not pinched, kinked or damaged by sharp edges.
• Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them. This poses a risk of injury.
• For safety reasons, disconnect the power adaptor from the mains socket during storms.
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. These may become dangerous playing material
for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high humidity, moisture,
flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it from any
accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage the product.

Operation
Should your device not have the required inputs or outputs, use a suitable adaptor.
• Turn the audio source and output device off and deenergise them.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into a warm one. The
condensation generated could destroy the product. The plug-in power supply unit also involves danger to
life by electric shock!
a) Connecting input (INPUT)
• Connect the cinch plug of the digital audio coaxial cable or a TOSLINK plug of the input device to the
respective socket (COAXIAL or SPDIF) on the converter.
• Connect the round pin plug of the power cable to the 5 V/DC power socket.
• If power is to be supplied via USB, use a matching Mini-USB cable and connect it to the 5 V/DC 300 mA
USB port.
b) Connecting output (OUTPUT)
• Connect a suitable audio cable with cinch plugs to the sockets R (right, red) and L (left, white) on the
converter. Connect the audio cable to the output device.
• The output can also be via headphones with a 3.5 mm jack plug (output with headphones icon).
c) Operation
• Plug the power supply into a suitable mains socket. The operation indicator lights up.
• Select the input signal (cinch / coaxial or TOSLINK / S/PDIF) using the selector switch SPDIF-COAX.
• Switch on the audio source and output device and start the playback.
Maintenance and cleaning
• The product requires no servicing on your part aside from occasional cleaning. Use a soft, anti-static and
lint-free cloth.
