Example at operating it as the S/P DIF-ANALOG converter

The following is a connecting example of using the VC-8 as a S/P DIF-ANALOG converter which
makes it possible to extract sound from CD and DVD with the sound card contained in the computer
with S/P DIF digital output. By separating the analog circuit from the computer, this system can
playback (or record) a clear sound free of noise created in the computer.
