MKIII HYBRID INPUT MODULE - HIM
STEP 4
Remove the existing input module from the amplier.
Do not pull the module too far out of the amplier
chassis; this could cause the ribbon cable to become
disconnected internally.
STEP 5
Remove the ribbon cable that is connected to the header
on the existing input module you are removing.
STEP 6
Carefully line up the ribbon cable with the header. Push
the ribbon cable into the header on the Hybrid Input
Module.
STEP 7
Carefully insert the Hybrid Input Module into the
amplier being certain not to dislodge any components
as you insert the module. Install the two screws that
secure the module to the chassis.
CONNECTIONS
The digital inputs of the Hybrid Input Module include one
Toslink and one Coaxial Digital Input. Only one of these
two inputs can be used at a time.
Each input also has a buffered loop output. The buffered
loop output allows an audio source to be shared with
multiple ampliers. When using a Toslink input only the
Toslink loop output will function. When using a Coaxial
input only the Coaxial loop output will function. The
analog L and R inputs also have buffered outputs.
NOTE: The Toslink and Coaxial inputs accept only
bitstream audio signals. Dolby and DTS 5.1 and 7.1 signals
cannot be decoded.
Both the Toslink and Coaxial inputs accept 16 to 24 bit
digital PCM audio signals with sampling rates between
44.1-96kHz.
Select the input in the SonARC setup software normally.
For analog inputs, select input 1L/1R or 3L/3R in SonARC.
For digital inputs, select input 2L/2R or 4L/4R in SonARC.
