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-8is intended as a companion component for the MOON CP-8Reference 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-8will 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.
