receiver.
NOTE:
For additional video
display options and information,
please see your user guide.
8. Connecting the keyboard
and mouse
Connect the cable from your
USB keyboard and mouse into
one of the vacant USB ports
labeled A on the front panel of
the receiver.
For Hi-Speed USB peripherals,
such as mass storage devices,
use the port labeled USB 2.0 on
the front of the receiver.
NOTE:
The port labeled USB
2.0 will only deliver hi-speed
USB if:
• One of the USB ports on
the host computer is
connected to the Link B on
the transmitter and
supports USB v2.0, and
• The second CATx link (B) is
in place.
9. Connecting audio to the
receiver
The digital and analog channels
run independently alongside
each other via the CATx link.
The receiver also has dedicated
headphone and microphone
jacks on the front panel.
In the receiver, the analog
portion of the Line Out port
on the rear panel and the
headphone port on the front
panel are joined and both
provide the same output (but
have different electrical
properties). For the Microphone
port on the front panel and the
Line In
port on the rear, you
can choose between the two
inputs using a hotkey switch
(see headphones and/or a
microphone in the following
section).
In the implementation of the
optional digital audio system,
the Line In
port on the
transmitter and the Line Out
port on the receiver can accept
either 3.5 mm analog jacks or
mini-TOSLINK optical fiber
connectors. The fiber
connectors provide access to
the optical S/PDIF capabilities
supported by the extender
system, which transmits PCM
audio at 96KHz.
HEADPHONES AND/OR A
MICROPHONE
Connect the 3.5 mm jack from
your headphones to the port

receiver unit.

the Line Out port of your audio
device to the Line In
port on
the rear panel of the receiver
unit.

optic cable (or a full size
TOSLINK fiber optic cable with
a mini-TOSLINK adaptor) to
connect the Line Out port
on the receiver to the digital
Line In port of the digital audio
device.
