Devialet Chat

Hi all, my Panasonic TV GZ2000 is arriving soon. I notice that it only have one optical audio output. Does it means I need some kind of adapter or splitter to both my Devialet Silver ? Will it affect the audio performance ?

You don't need anything. Just plug the optical cable in one of the speakers and the speakers sort our the rest.

One optical port only.

Thank you so much.. I guess my Devialet speaker need both to be connected to the router via LAN cables right ?

I run my mine on WiFi and have done for the best part of four years, however I still use a dialog because I have heard so many horror stories about the DOS software. With the dialog I fine WiFi perfectly stable assuming a good WiFi signal. NO idea though if you are using DOS.

There are 3 ways. Best sound, most stable is Ethernet cable. Next best is PLC, power line communication, where the Phantoms communicate via the power cord. It works best if the Phantoms are using the same power board. Then wifi, ideally with a strong signal.

Thanks so much, I will give the first two a try to see which is more stable for my home.

Sorry to hijack your thread slightly but what would you guys recommend to get TV sound from my expert? Optical /optical or optical toslink?
I'll try and ask elsewhere too.

The optical input on your Expert is toslink. The optical out on any TV I've seen is also toslink. You just need a standard optical audio cable which is toslink ti toslink. The only other optical cables I know of are for data transmission and they definitely won't connect to any TV I've seen or to a Devialet of any kind.

I use a 7m toslink from my TV to my Expert -works without a hitch.
