MOON HDS-8 HDMI 1.3a Switcher
Congratulations!
Thank you for selecting the MOON HDS-8 HDMI 1.3a Switcher as a part of your Home-theater system. This HDMI
switcher has been designed to offer state-of-the-art high-end performance in an elegant package, while retaining all the
hallmarks on which Simaudio has made its reputation. We have spared no effort to ensure that it is among the finest HDMI
switchers available. We have been building high-performance audio equipment for almost 30 years, and the know-how gained
through our cumulative experience is an important reason why MOON products are so satisfying.
The HDS-8 is intended as a companion component for the MOON CP-8 Reference Surround Preamplifier/Processor.
Consequently, any discussions concerning remote control operations requires the WRM-2 remote control unit which is sold
ONLY with the MOON CP-8.
The performance of your HDS-8 will continue to improve during the first 150 hours of use. This is the result of a “break-in”
period required for the numerous high quality electronic parts used throughout this HDMI switcher.
Before setting up your new MOON HDS-8, we encourage you to please read this manual thoroughly to properly acquaint
yourself with its features. We hope you enjoy using the MOON HDS-8 HDMI 1.3a Switcher as much as the pride we have
taken in creating this fine audio/video product. We understand the power and emotion of music & film, and build our
products with the goal of faithfully capturing these elusive qualities.
