Insert the 3 LEDS in the case from the inside, leaving the short lead at left. Make sure you push the LEDs by the plastic around the LED, not the LED itself.

* JST Yellow wire (2) => LED's Cathode (LED's short lead)
* JST Yellow wire (2) => LED's Cathode (LED's short lead)
Since the LED's leads are too long, you will want to cut them down to about 7-8mm. Make sure you remember which lead is the short one.
Since the LED's leads are too long, you will want to cut them down to about 7-8mm. Make sure you remember which lead is the short one. When inserting the dupont connector, if you feel that it doesn't grab the pins enough, you should press the tiny metal-jacket inside the plastic capsule to make it narrow. It's easy, simply put the dupont connector over the desk and press the metal with the screwdriver tip or something like that.

Connect the 4 controller cables to the 4 controller connectors on the ZynScreen (CTRL1, CTRL2, CTRL3, CTRL4). Wire color order doesn't matter. Harness wires are crossed, so depending what connector did you plug on the encoder side, you have to plug the other one on the display. There are 2 combinations.
I recommend you take a look at [https://www.hifiberry.com/docs/data-sheets/datasheet-dac-adc-pro Hifiberry DAC+ADC PRO specification].
