PORTTA N3C21BT Digital SPDIF (Coaxial/Toslink) Audio Converter User Manual

1. Úvod

The PORTTA N3C21BT is a versatile 2-way Digital SPDIF (Coaxial/Toslink) Audio Converter designed to facilitate audio signal conversion and extension. This device allows users to connect a SPDIF audio signal input via either a Coaxial cable or a Toslink cable. It then passes the signal to both its coaxial and Toslink output ports simultaneously. With its built-in amplification feature, the N3C21BT can also function as an audio signal repeater, effectively doubling the transferring distance for both coaxial and Toslink cables.

2. Klíčové vlastnosti

• Supports two-way conversion: Coaxial to Toslink or Toslink to Coaxial.
• Audio format support: LPCM2.0, DTS, Dolby-AC3.
• Amplifies SPDIF audio signals to extend transferring distance via coaxial or Toslink cables.
• Compact design for easy installation and integration into existing audio systems.

Popis portů:

• TOSLINK/COAX Switch: This switch determines the direction of conversion. Slide it to 'TOSLINK' for Toslink input and Coaxial output, or to 'COAX' for Coaxial input and Toslink output.
• USB/Power: Connect the provided USB power cable to this port and a suitable USB power source (e.g., a USB wall adapter, TV USB port) to power the device.
• Optical Toslink Input/Output: For connecting optical fiber cables.
• Digital Coaxial Input/Output: For connecting coaxial digital audio cables.

4. Pokyny k nastavení

Follow these steps to connect your PORTTA N3C21BT audio converter to your audio system.

Image: An illustration demonstrating typical connection scenarios for the PORTTA N3C21BT. It shows how to connect source devices like an Xbox or AV receiver to the converter's input, and then connect the converter's output to audio systems such as soundbars or speaker setups using both Toslink and Coaxial cables.

1. Připojení napájení: Connect the USB power cable to the 'USB/Power' port on the converter and plug the other end into a 5V DC USB power source. Ensure the power source is stable.
2. Select Conversion Direction: Use the 'TOSLINK/COAX' switch to select the desired conversion direction.
   • If your source device uses Toslink and your receiving device uses Coaxial, set the switch to 'TOSLINK'.
   • If your source device uses Coaxial and your receiving device uses Toslink, set the switch to 'COAX'.
3. Připojit zdrojové zařízení: Connect your audio source device (e.g., TV, DVD player, game console) to the corresponding input port (Toslink or Coaxial) on the converter, based on your switch selection.
4. Connect Receiving Device: Connect your audio receiving device (e.g., amplifier, soundbar, home theater system) to the corresponding output port (Coaxial or Toslink) on the converter. The converter will output the signal to both output types simultaneously.
5. Zapnutí zařízení: Power on all connected audio devices and the converter.
6. Nastavení zvuku: Ensure your source device's audio output settings are configured to output the correct digital audio format (LPCM2.0, DTS, or Dolby-AC3) that the converter supports.

5. Návod k obsluze

The PORTTA N3C21BT is designed for straightforward operation. Once properly set up, it functions automatically.

Obousměrná konverze:

The primary function of this converter is its bidirectional capability. The 'TOSLINK/COAX' switch on the side of the unit determines the input type. The converter will then output the audio signal to obě the Toslink and Coaxial output ports, regardless of the input type selected.

• Výběr vstupu: Slide the switch to 'TOSLINK' if your audio source is connected to the Toslink input. Slide it to 'COAX' if your audio source is connected to the Coaxial input.
• výstup: The converter will automatically send the converted audio signal to both the Toslink and Coaxial output ports. You can connect one or both outputs to your receiving audio devices.

6. Řešení problémů

If you encounter issues while using the PORTTA N3C21BT, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Žádný audio výstup:
  • Ensure the converter is properly powered via the USB port.
  • Verify that all audio cables (Toslink/Coaxial) are securely connected to both the source, converter, and receiving devices.
  • Check the 'TOSLINK/COAX' switch position. It must match the type of input cable you are using.
  • Confirm that your source device's audio output settings are correctly configured for digital audio (e.g., PCM, Bitstream) and that the output format is supported by the converter (LPCM2.0, DTS, Dolby-AC3).
  • Test with different cables if possible, as faulty cables can prevent audio transmission.
  • Ensure the receiving audio device (amplifier, soundbar) is set to the correct input source.
• Intermittent Audio / Signal Drops:
  • Check the power supply. An unstable or insufficient power source can cause intermittent operation. Use a reliable 5V USB power adapter.
  • Ensure cables are not damaged or excessively bent, especially optical cables.
  • Try resetting the converter by unplugging and re-plugging the USB power cable.
  • Verify that the audio format from the source is consistently supported.
• Humming or Static Noise:
  • This can sometimes be caused by ground loops. Ensure all devices are connected to properly grounded outlets.
  • Zkontrolujte, zda nedochází k rušení jinými elektronickými zařízeními.
  • Ensure cables are of good quality and properly shielded.
