6. Operating Instructions
6.1 EDID and Function Configuration (DIP Switch)
The 4-pin DIP switch on the back panel allows you to configure the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) settings and control the ARC and audio extraction functions. Adjust these settings based on your connected devices and desired audio output.
| DIP Switch Position | Description |
|---|---|
| PIN1: OFF, PIN2: OFF | EDID bypass |
| PIN1: OFF, PIN2: ON | Ultra HD (4K2K@60Hz) – 8/10/12bit, 3D, HDR video & 5.1ch audio |
| PIN1: ON, PIN2: OFF | Ultra HD (4K2K@60Hz) – 8/10/12bit, 3D, HDR video & 2ch audio |
| PIN1: ON, PIN2: ON | Learning EDID from Output |
| PIN3: OFF | Disable ARC Function |
| PIN3: ON | Enable ARC Function |
| PIN4: OFF | Disable Audio Extractor Function |
| PIN4: ON | Enable Audio Extractor Function (via Toslink & 3.5mm) |
Note: After changing DIP switch settings, it is recommended to power cycle the audio extractor and all connected devices to ensure the new settings are applied correctly.
6.2 ARC (Audio Return Channel) Function
When ARC is enabled (PIN3 ON) and your display supports ARC, audio from your TV's internal tuner or smart apps can be sent back to the audio extractor via the HDMI cable and then output through the Toslink (S/PDIF) port to your audio system.
6.3 CEC Bypass
The device supports CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) bypass, allowing CEC commands to pass through the extractor to control connected HDMI devices. This means you can use a single remote to control multiple CEC-enabled devices in your setup.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with the SIIG HDMI 2.0 Audio Extractor, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Video Output:
- Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected.
- Verify the input source is selected correctly on your display.
- Check the power connection to the extractor; the Power LED should be illuminated.
- Try a different HDMI cable.
- Adjust DIP switch settings for EDID (PIN1 & PIN2) to match your display's capabilities or try "EDID bypass".
- Power cycle all connected devices (source, extractor, display).
- No Audio Output (Toslink/3.5mm):
- Ensure audio cables (Toslink or 3.5mm) are securely connected to the correct output ports on the extractor and input ports on your audio system.
- Verify the audio input is selected correctly on your audio receiver/soundbar.
- Check DIP switch PIN4 is set to ON to enable audio extraction.
- If using ARC, ensure DIP switch PIN3 is set to ON and your TV's ARC function is enabled.
- Confirm the audio format from your source is supported by your audio system and the extractor (refer to "Product Features" for supported formats). Some audio systems may not support certain multi-channel formats.
- Try setting DIP switch PIN1: ON, PIN2: OFF for 2ch audio output if your audio system only supports stereo.
- Power cycle all connected devices.
- Intermittent Video/Audio:
- Check for loose cable connections.
- Ensure the power supply is stable.
- Reduce cable lengths if possible, especially for HDMI.
- Verify that the slide switch is in the NORMAL position.
- Test with different HDMI cables.
- HDR/4K Issues:
- Ensure all connected HDMI cables are rated for HDMI 2.0 or higher and support 18Gbps bandwidth.
- Verify your source and display devices both support 4K/60Hz and HDR.
- Adjust EDID settings (PIN1 & PIN2) to ensure the correct video mode is selected.
