Digital Input LED: This LED turns on when a digital input signal is
detected. When this LED is ON, the analog input is turned off.
2
Surround Sound LED: The LED will light whenever the digital input is
being processed by the surround sound decoder.
3 Dolby Digital LED: The LED will light whenever a Dolby Digital
encoded signal is detected on the digital input.

Power/Link LED: The LED is on solid when the transmitter is
communicating with the headset. A slowly pulsing LED indicates
that the transmitter can't communicate with the headset. This could
happen when the headset is turned off, out of range or not paired with
the transmitter. (see pgs. 3-4)
5
Digital Input and Output: Connect the digital input to the XBOX 360
digital output using the included digital optical cable. The digital input
is passed through to the digital output so you can connect the X42
transmitter and your home theater system to hear the XBOX sound on
the headset and speakers at the same time. When a digital signal is
detected by the optical input, the Digital Input LED will be lit.
6
Analog Input Jack: Provides a 3.5mm input for digital music players or
additional audio sources. (3.5mm cable sold separately)
NOTE: The analog input is deactivated whenever a digital input is active, so
both the digital and analog inputs cannot be used at the same time.
