VAX01203 HDMI 2.0 HD-Audio Extractor

Dear customer,
Thank you for purchasing this high-quality product. Please read these instructions before installation to ensure optimum use and safety. Please keep this manual for future reference.

Functions:

• Sends the sound of an Ultra-HD HDMI signal source via HDMI to an AV receiver, soundbar, or headphones, with support for 7.1 sound formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X
• Basically, the same audio-video format is sent to all outputs
• Loss-free passthrough of an HDMI signal up to 18 Gbps / Ultra-HD HDR Dolby Vision

EDID switch

Via EDID (Extended Display Identification Data), a connected TV, AV receiver, or projector signals its capabilities (including supported video resolution and audio format).  Then the HDMI source outputs the best-supported signal format. With the HD Audio Extractor, you can choose which audio format is signaled to the source and thereby output.

• If you want to use the audio jack, set the EDID mode switch to “2.0”. If you do not hear anything, select stereo or the stereo audio track on your source.
• If you want to use the optical connection, it is best to select the EDID mode “5.1”. If you do not hear anything, select Dolby Digital Bitstream on your external player, not  Dolby Digital Plus, not Automatic, and not the “best available sound”. DTS 5.1 sound can also be transmitted.
• All audio formats are supported via HDMI. Select the EDID mode “7.1” to transmit the best available audio format, e.g. Dolby Atmos. The internal TV speakers may then remain mute.

Connections & Controls

1. Power supply connection 5 V hollow plug 3.2 mm Ø

2. EDID mode switch for adapting the maximum audio format to the sound system:
   2.0: analog stereo (output possible via all outputs)
   5.1: DTS/ Dolby Digital 5.1, (5.1 output only via HDMI and optical / Toslink)
   7.1: DTS-HD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD / Atmos, LPCM 5.1/7.1 (HD audio formats, multichannel PCM, and Dolby Digital Plus are only possible via HDMI)

3. Input for HDMI source/player

4. Output for connection of TV, monitor, or video projector

5. OPT: Optical audio digital output SPDIF Toslink

6. AUX: Analogue audio output 3.5 mm jack, only active with stereo sound

7. HDMI output for connection to an HDMI input of the sound system delivers a video signal up to a maximum of 1080p as well as audio (4K 60Hz are scaled to 1080p 60Hz)

8. Power LED lights up when the power supply is active

9. Signal LED, lights up when an input signal is detected

The HDMI HD Audio Extractor has no on/off switch and thus does not require a remote control.
The unit can also be powered from a USB device socket instead of from the power supply unit.
This allows the HDMI HD Audio Extractor to be started together with the TV or PC, for example. An adapter cable DC hollow plug to USB is included.
Note: An HDMI-ARC connection of a soundbar is an HDMI output with an audio return channel. This connector is not input and is not suitable for connecting the HDMI HD Audio Extractor.

HDMI-only audio output

A downscaled is automatically activated at this output if the source device outputs an Ultra HD signal. The original 2160p 50/60Hz signal is downscaled to 1080p 50/60Hz. This makes the signal compatible with an older AV receiver with HDMI 1.3 interface. The signal at the HDMI TV output is not affected.
Note: An input signal with 1440p is not scaled. This format might not be processed by all AV receivers.

Installation and operation

1. Connect the HDMI signal source (e.g. Bluray player) to the HDMI input.

2. Connect an HDMI display (e.g. TV, monitor, or video projector) to the HDMI TV output.
   Connect an AV receiver or sound bar to HDMI Audio output.

3. You can use the audio outputs digital optical and 3.5 mm jack alternatively or additionally.

4. Connect the power supply unit to the HDMI HD Audio Extractor and plug it into a power socket.
   Or use the USB adapter cable for the power supply. Then switch on the TV and sound system, then the media player.

Caution: Make sure that the HDMI plug contacts are not dirty or damaged when connecting or disconnecting the HDMI cables. Make connections without power and switch on the devices only after connecting them. Please also pay attention to the good quality of the HDMI cables. Good cables usually have a large diameter. The HDMI cable length shall not exceed 5 m for 4K unless you use special active cables.

• Please do not cover the housing or install the device to avoid overheating.
• Keep away from heat sources, water and moisture.
• Do not place heavy objects on the device or the connection cables.
• Do not open or drill holes in the housing.
• Use only the supplied power adaptor or ensure identical performance data when replacing.
• Use only a soft, dry cloth to clean the surface of the unit. Please do not use aggressive cleaning agents, gasoline, or the like.
