- Determine the optical audio source device that you want to connect to the converter. This could be a media player, DVD player, gaming console, or TV.
- Find the port on your source device that is designated for optical audio output. In most cases, it will be referred to as the “Optical Out” or the “TOSLINK Out.”
- Connect one end of a TOSLINK optical cable (which is typically not included in the package) to the optical output port of the device you are using as a source.
- Connect the other end of the TOSLINK optical cable to the optical input port of the C2G 40019 converter. This port is labeled with the word “Optical In.”
- Locate the soundbar, audio receiver, or powered speakers that you want to connect to the converter. You will need to identify the coaxial audio receiver or device that you wish to connect to the converter.
- Find the port on your receiver or device that accepts audio input through a coaxial cable. Typically, it will be labeled “Coaxial In” or “RCA In.”
- Connect one end of a coaxial audio cable, which is not typically provided in the packaging, to the coaxial audio output port of the C2G 40019 converter. This port is either labeled as “Coaxial Out” or “RCA Out.”
- Establish a connection between the other end of the coaxial audio cable and the coaxial audio input port located on your receiver or other device.
- After ensuring that the connections are secure, the power adapter should then be plugged into the power input port of the converter.
- In order to provide power to the C2G 40019 converter, the other end of the power adapter must be plugged into a wall socket.
- Turn on the device that serves as your source as well as the coaxial audio receiver or device.
- The audio signals coming from your optical source device should now be transformed to the coaxial format before being sent to the audio receiver or device that accepts coaxial audio.
