* S/PDIF format is dependent upon the embedded digital audio part in the input HDMI stream. The S/PDIF receiver must be able to recognize the input S/PDIF format. This CV-511 only separates the digital audio in HDMI stream, and bypasses this decoded audio to the output.
* The function of the rotary switch is reserved and please keep the rotary switch at 0.
EDID Learning

Power up the CV-511. Connect DVI display to the DVI OUT .
2.
Turn the rotary switch counterclockwise [ ] from 0 to 7.
3.
The green LED will flash a few times to indicate the EDID is learned.
4.
Turn the rotary switch clockwise [ ] from 7 to 0. DO NOT let the rotary switch arrow pass 6, which will erase the just learned EDID and reset to default EDID.
Notice
1.
Analog stereo audio output can merely support 2-channel audio. This version does NOT support
8-channel analog audio applications.
