Safety instructions

• Please do not cover the housing or power supply unit and do not install the device to avoid overheating.
• Keep away from heat sources, fire, water and moisture.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the device or the connection cables.
• Do not open or drill holes in the housing.
• Only use the power supply unit supplied or ensure identical performance data when replacing it.
• Only clean the surface of the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, petrol or similar.
• If the appliance is not used for a longer period of time or if it malfunctions, please unplug it from the mains.

Installation and operation

1. Connect your HDMI source (e.g. Bluray player) to the HDMI input.
2. Connect an HDMI sink (e.g. TV, video projector, monitor) to the HDMI output.
3. Connect you audio device to the audio outputs SPDIF Toslink and/or 3.5 mm L/R stereo.
4. Connect the power supply unit to the AX210 and plug it into a power socket. Then switch on the display, followed by the external player.

Caution: When plugging and unplugging the HDMI cables, make sure that the plug contacts are not dirty or damaged. Make connections without power and switch on the devices only after they have been connected. Please also ensure that the HDMI cables are of good quality – especially for 4k transmission.

EDID switch and management

Via EDID (Extended Display Identification Data), a TV, AV receiver or projector connected via HDMI signals its capabilities (including supported picture resolution and sound formats) to the source player. Then the HDMI source automatically outputs the best supported signal. This is to play only video or audio formats that can be processed. With the EDID switch, you can set which EDID is to be used for your configuration.

In the COPY position, the EDID of the display is used. This means that the input device behaves as if it is connected directly to the display. When connected to a monitor or video projector without speakers, no sound, or only stereo sound, can therefore be played. Then change the EDID via the dip switches according to the maximum desired audio format. Please note that only stereo, DTS and Dolby Digital are played via Toslink (not Dolby Digital Plus). Only if the source plays stereo, sound is output via the analogue output. The same audio format is output on all connectors. The AX210 does not convert the formats. Therefore, select at maximum 5.1 sound if you want to use the Toslink connection (recommended setting).

The EDID mode is set via the 3 dip switches:

*COPY means, the original EDID data of the connected display is used FRL12G allows a maximum data rate of 48 Gbps,

Notes:
 audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD as well as the 5.1 audio format DTS are not processed by some TVs. If the EDID setting nevertheless forces the output, such a TV will remain mute.
When changing the EDID switch, note that it may be necessary to restart the connected player. If you do not achieve the desired output or display, please proceed as follows:

• Switch on the desired EDID mode.
• Disconnect all units from the mains for a few seconds.
• Then plug in the mains plugs and switch on the devices. Do this in the following order: TV /projector / AV receiver, HDMI audio extractor, HDMI source

HDMI cable
Note that the higher the data rate of the AV signal, the more critical the cable length becomes. This is because the bandwidth requirement increases and higher frequencies are used. The higher a frequency is, the more it is attenuated in the cable. For an 8K resolution or 4k 120Hz
we recommend a maximum of 2 m cable length at the inputs and the output. If you need longer distances, you can use special HDMI cables with fibre optic data lines or active cables. For 4K 60Hz, the cables can be up to 6 m long, for Full-HD up to 15 m.

Service
The unit must be inspected by qualified personnel in the following cases.

• Objects or liquids have entered the unit.
