Enstriksyon Operasyon

Anviwònman EDID odyo

The extractor features an EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) toggle switch to manage audio output. Adjust this switch based on your audio requirements:

  • Mòd televizyon: Passes EDID information directly from the connected TV/display to the HDMI source. This allows the source to output audio formats supported by the display.
  • 2CH mòd: Activates a built-in EDID for 2-channel stereo audio. Use this setting when connecting to stereo audio systems via L/R 3.5mm or Optical, and ensure your source is set to PCM audio.
  • 5CH mòd: Activates a built-in EDID for 5.1 channel audio. Use this setting when connecting to a 5.1 channel audio system via Optical, supporting formats like Dolby Digital and DTS.

Nòt: For simultaneous audio output via both Optical and 3.5mm, the incoming audio format from the source must be set to Stereo (PCM).
