5. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to set up your HDMI ARC/eARC Audio Extractor Adapter:

1. Connect HDMI Source: Connect your HDMI source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, game console) to the "HDMI IN" port on the adapter using a high-quality HDMI cable.
2. Connect Display (Optional): Connect your TV or monitor to the "HDMI OUT1" port on the adapter using a high-quality HDMI cable. This port supports ARC/eARC functionality.
3. Connect Soundbar/AV Receiver:
   • If using an ARC/eARC compatible soundbar/AV receiver, connect it to the "SOUND BAR" port on the adapter using an HDMI cable.
   • If using a non-ARC/eARC compatible audio amplifier or TV for audio only, connect it to the "HDMI OUT2" port. Note that this port outputs audio only with a black screen if connected to a TV.
4. Power On: Connect the provided DC 5V power adapter to the "DC 5V" port on the adapter and plug it into a power outlet. The POWER LED will light up.
5. Enable ARC/eARC (if needed): If your setup requires ARC/eARC functionality, press the "ARC/eARC" button on the adapter to enable it. The ARC/eARC LED will light up.

Connection Diagrams:

When the ARC/eARC function is OFF, the adapter converts HDMI audio from your source device to the soundbar and also outputs HDMI audio to a display (if connected). No TV connection is required for this mode.

When the ARC/eARC function is ON, the adapter takes ARC/eARC audio from your TV and outputs it to the soundbar, while also providing HDMI audio output. No separate HDMI source device is required for this mode.

Once the device is set up, operating it is straightforward:

1. Power On All Devices: Ensure all connected devices (HDMI source, TV, soundbar/AV receiver) are powered on.

3. Toggle ARC/eARC Function: Use the "ARC/eARC" button to switch between HDMI audio extraction (ARC/eARC OFF) and TV ARC/eARC audio extraction (ARC/eARC ON) modes, depending on your desired audio routing.
4. Enjoy Audio and Video: Your audio and video signals should now be routed correctly through your connected devices.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, try the following:

• No Power: Ensure the DC 5V power adapter is securely connected to both the adapter and a working power outlet. Check the POWER LED.

• ARC/eARC Not Working:
  • Ensure the ARC/eARC function is enabled on the adapter (ARC/eARC LED should be green).
  • Verify that your TV and soundbar/AV receiver both support ARC/eARC and that the feature is enabled in their respective settings.
  • Use high-quality HDMI cables that support ARC/eARC.
• Audio Quality Issues:
  • Ensure all devices are compatible with the selected audio format.
