How to use

Connect the HDMI source (console, Blu-ray player or TV output) to the device’s HDMI input, then connect the HDMI output to your TV or projector. Use the optical (TOSLINK), HDMI or 3.5 mm analogue outputs to feed your soundbar, amplifier or active speakers. Set the EDID switch to the desired audio format (stereo, 5.1 or 7.1) and enable CEC on your TV if you want to control volume with the TV remote. The video signal continues to the display uninterrupted while audio is extracted for external systems.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use high-quality HDMI 2.1 cables to maintain full bandwidth and enable features like 4K@120Hz or 8K@60Hz. If you rely on eARC from the TV, ensure the TV’s audio output settings are configured to pass-through or eARC and adjust EDID to match your audio equipment capabilities.
