with ARC
Installation is simple, make sure that all devices are powered off and then connect the cables as described
above; ensuring the Extractor is connected to an ARC enabled HDMI port. Power on all devices; the Power
LED on the Extractor will illuminate Red. If the Power LED does not illuminate there is insufficient power
available from the HDMI output of your source equipment; connect the provided USB DC Cable to an
available USB port on your HDMI Display, AV Receiver or USB power supply and power on all devices.
To set the Extractor to ARC mode, press the Select button on the top of the device to the In/Low position;
the Status LED will illuminate Green. This allows audio to be extracted from your TV's ARC output and
sent to an AV Receiver by TOSLink, whilst the TV's own audio output is disabled automatically.
By pressing the Select button again so that it is in the Out/High position on the top of the unit you can
change to HDMI pass-through mode; the Status LED will turn off. This allows audio and video from the
HDMI Source device connected to the HDMI In port of the Extractor to be passed through to the HDMI
Display. In HDMI pass-through mode the Extractor's built in CEC Emulator allows compatible HDMI
Source equipment to be controlled from the HDMI Displays' remote control.
For installations using multiple HDMI sources, position the Audio Extractor between a HDMI switch and
HDMI display equipment.
