Concernig scematic for CI-V adapter. I drew down it from real pcb so I specified part value for readable components only. They all are smd.
C1 - ceramic (looks strange but it's true),
R5 - at least 0.5W
Q1 and Q2 I guess can be any switch transistors.
I checked this adapter with CI-V Explorer software, everything's ok.
