Using the product
1. Connect the HDMI output of the desired device to the HDMI IN socket using a
suitable HDMI cable.
2. Connect the HDMI input of a suitable display to the HDMI OUT output. If you
want this display to also play audio, press the ARC switch (ARC = audio return
channel). The ARC LED then lights up and there is no audio signal on the S/PDIF
and L&R outputs.
3. To further process the audio signals digitally, connect a suitable device to the
optical S/PDIF output via a Toslink fiber optic cable. To output audio in 5.1
format, set the ADV 2CH 5.1CH switch to the 5.1CH position. If stereo output
is desired, set the ADV 2CH 5.1CH switch to the 2CH position. The ARC switch
must then not be pressed and the ARC LED must not light up.
