How to use

Connect the extractor's HDMI input to an HDMI ARC source or the TV's HDMI ARC output as required. Use the HDMI output to pass the video signal to a display and use the analogue L/R or 3.5 mm output to feed an amplifier, soundbar or speakers. Power the unit via the supplied USB Type-A to Micro-USB cable connected to a 5 V USB power source. Ensure source device audio settings are configured to output via HDMI ARC where applicable.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, verify that source and display devices support HDMI ARC and HDCP 1.4. When using multi-channel audio, connect to a compatible receiver or soundbar that can decode Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS HD. Avoid using power sources that cannot supply the required 500 mA at 5 V.
