Installation & Placement
The MOON HDS-8 HDMI 1.3a Switcher be should be placed within a distance of all components that you will be
connecting to it that respects a maximum cable distance of 50 feet. HDMI cables exceeding this length may compromise both
audio and video performance, as well as cause instability to the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) signal.
You should never place another component directly on top of the HDS-8 or place the HDS-8 directly on top of another
component,. As well, the switcher should be placed on a solid level surface. You should avoid placing it near a heat source or
inside a closed cabinet that is not well ventilated as this could compromise performance and reliability. The HDS-8 uses a
transformer in its power supply; even though it is well shielded, you should not place this HDMI switcher too close to source
components sensitive to EMI, such as turntables and phono preamplifiers.
