S/PDIF Digital Input and Output Configurations
The S/PDIF digital input and output connectors let you connect external S/PDIF devices,
such as digital speakers, A/V receivers, DVD players and other home theater and
professional audio devices. The digital input and output signals are connected to external
devices using fiber optic TOSLINK cables, available at the Turtle Beach web site
(www.TurtleBeach.com) or at most consumer electronics retailers.
⇒
When the S/PDIF signal is active, a red light appears in the digital output connector
or at the end of the TOSLINK cable inserted into the digital output connector.
Using the S/PDIF Input and Output
To connect the S/PDIF input or output to an external device, insert the optical adapter into
the Line Output jack (for S/PDIF Out) or the Line Input Jack (for S/PDIF In). Use a
TOSLINK optical cable to connect these adapters to the corresponding digital input on the
external device.
When using the digital inputs or outputs, select one of the S/PDIF output modes in the
pull-down menu:
S/PDIF Out Off: S/PDIF output is turned off, so there is
no digital signal. Note that whenever S/PDIF is turned on, a
red light will be emitted from the S/PDIF output jack.
S/PDIF Out 44.1kHz: Digital audio is transmitted in S/PDIF format at 44.1kHz
sample rate.
S/PDIF Out 48kHz: Digital audio is transmitted in S/PDIF format at 48kHz sample
rate.
S/PDIF In to Out: The S/PDIF input is routed to the S/PDIF output, allowing you to
monitor the S/PDIF input on the digital speaker system or A/V receiver connected to
the S/PDIF output.
In Windows Vista, "Digital Output" should be set as the default in Vista's "Playback
Devices" window by clicking Start
Control Panel
Sound.
