MOON HDS-8 HDMI 1.3a Switcher
Connecting the HDS-8
Figure 3: Connecting the MOON HDS-8 and the MOON CP-8
1. The MOON HDS-8 is intended for use with the MOON CP-8 Reference Surround Preamplifier/Processor. Consequently,
this section will desrcibe the recommended connection scenario with the CP-8. However, you may use your HDS-8 with
another Surround Preamplifier/Processor in a similar manner.
2. Connect your HDMI audio/video source components to the ‘HDMI IN’ connectors ‘1’ through ‘5’.
3. Then connect the “HDMI OUT” on the HDS-8 to either the ‘HDMI IN 1’ or ‘HDMI IN 2’ on the CP-8’s rear panel. We
recommend using the CP-8’s HDMI input labelled ‘HDMI IN 2’ and connecting a DVD player to the ‘HDMI IN 1’ input as
per factory default settings.
4. Connect the HDS-8’s 12V trigger input to one of the CP-8’s 12V trigger outputs.
5. Connect the supplied AC power cable to the IEC receptacle, located on the switcher’s rear panel. Ensure that the AC wall
outlet you use has a functioning ground. For the best sonic performance, it is preferable that you plug your HDS-8
directly into a dedicated AC outlet and avoid using an extension cord.
6. In order to obtain the maximum performance from your Home-theater system, we strongly recommend that the
detachable power cord not come into physical contact with any of the HDMI cables running to and from your HDS-8.
