Tendak HDMI 2.0 Audio Extractor Splitter User Manual

1. Introduction

The Tendak HDMI 2.0 Audio Extractor Splitter is a versatile device designed to enhance your audio-visual experience. It allows you to extract digital audio signals from an HDMI source and output them to various audio systems, such as soundbars, surround sound systems, headphones, or speakers, via optical Spdif, 3.5mm AUX, or RCA L/R stereo ports. Simultaneously, the device passes the high-definition video signal to your 4K display.
