1. INTRODUCTION
This HDMI Dolby Digital & DTS Stereo Decoder supports the transmission
of high bandwidth (18Gbps) video and allows the associated audio
signal to be simultaneously extracted and split to both digital and
analog audio outputs, providing high quality audio and video
performance.
This unit can decode standard Dolby Digital & DTS formats up to 5.1
and output the audio as stereo (LPCM 2.0) over HDMI, S/PDIF (optical
and coaxial) and analog RCA connections. It can also support the
passthrough of Bitstream, HD Bitstream, or LPCM 7.1 with audio
sampling rates up to 192kHz if needed. If the connected display
supports ARC (Audio Return Channel), and has it enabled, then this
unit can extract the ARC audio and output it via all available audio
outputs.
Both the input and output HDMI ports support 4K UHD resolutions up
to 4K@60Hz (4:4:4, 8-bit). Built-in EDID management support allows
the user to select from multiple EDIDs and, with the use of optional PC
software, to upload, download, or edit EDID les.

PCM: This LED will illuminate when LPCM audio is detected on the
2
HDMI input. If the ARC function is active, this LED will illuminate
when LPCM is detected from the ARC source.
DTS: This LED will illuminate when DTS 2.0+Digital audio is detected
3
on the HDMI input. If the ARC function is active, this LED will
illuminate when DTS 2.0+Digital audio is detected from the ARC
source.

4
detected on the HDMI input. If the ARC function is active, this LED
will illuminate when Dolby Digital audio is detected from the ARC
source.
ARC: Pressing the this button will enable/disable the unit’s ARC
5
(Audio Return Channel) functionality. When the ARC function is
enabled, the LED will illuminate and ARC audio sent back from
the connected display will be output over all local audio outputs.
When the ARC function is not enabled the LED will remain off.
Note: Please ensure that the connected display supports ARC and
that the display’s ARC function is enabled before activating the
ARC functionality of this unit. Failure to meet these requirements
will result in no audio output.

COAX OUT: Connect to powered speakers or an amplier for
digital audio output using an appropriate coaxial cable.
OPTICAL OUT: Connect to powered speakers or an amplier for
digital audio output using an appropriate optical cable.
HDMI AUDIO BYPASS/2CH: This switch controls the audio output
4
format for the HDMI port. Moving the switch to the left sets it to
“BYPASS” which allows audio to pass unchanged from the HDMI
input port. Moving the switch to the right sets it to “2CH” which
enables decoding Dolby Digital and DTS audio from the HDMI
input and down-mixing it to LPCM 2.0.
S/PDIF BYPASS/2CH: This switch controls the audio output format
5
for the S/PDIF audio output ports (Optical and Coaxial). Moving
the switch to the left sets it to “BYPASS” which allows audio to pass
unchanged from the HDMI input port. Moving the switch to the
right sets it to “2CH” which enables decoding Dolby Digital and
DTS audio from the HDMI input and down-mixing it to LPCM 2.0.
EDID STD/TV: This switch controls which EDID is sent to the
6
connected HDMI input device. Moving the switch to the left sets
it to “STD” mode which will use the internal (user) EDID. Moving
the switch to the right sets it to “TV” mode which will pass the EDID
from the connected display device to the HDMI input device.
Note: By default the “STD” EDID contains video resolution support
up to 1080p@60Hz and audio support including LPCM 2.0 up to
4
96kHz, Dolby Digital (5.1 channel) and DTS (5.1 channel).
SERVICE: This slot is for EDID management, control and rmware
7
update use. Connect directly to your PC/laptop using a standard
Mini-USB cable to connect using the PC software or to send
commands (via virtual COM port).

6.4 EDID Commander
(1) This unit uses an EDID Management application which allows the
user to copy the EDID from an attached display, edit an existing
EDID le stored on the PC or create a basic EDID from scratch. The
EDID can then be uploaded to the unit for use.
(2) Please obtain the EDID Management software from your
authorized dealer and save it in a directory where you can easily
nd it.
(3) Before connecting the unit to your PC, please install the
appropriate Virtual COM Port Driver depending on your Windows
version. Next, install the EDID Management software.
(4) After the installation has successfully completed, an icon for it will
appear on the windows desktop. Launch the software by doubleclicking on the icon and the EDID Management device detection
window will open up on your screen.
(5) After launching the software, power the unit on and then connect
it to the PC/laptop using a USB cable. Click on the “ Search”
button and any detected units will be displayed in the list. Clicking
on a detected unit will open the EDID Commander window.
6.4.1 EDID Controller Tab
• Mode Select: The currently selected EDID is displayed here.
- The “External” EDID corresponds to the “TV” setting on the back of
the unit. The “User 1” EDID corresponds to the “STD” setting on the
back of the unit. The User 1 EDID is user-replaceable.
- To return the User 1 EDID to its original values, please perform a
factory reset on the unit.
7
• Save/Upload/Analysis: EDIDs may be saved to a PC, uploaded from
a PC or analyzed.
- Save: Any EDID from the unit or the connected HDMI display can
be saved to your PC as a *.bin le by selecting the EDID source
from the drop down menu and then clicking the “ Save” icon.
- Upload: Previously saved EDID les (*.bin format) can be re-
uploaded into the unit by selecting the User EDID to replace from
the dropdown and then clicking the “ Upload” icon. Before
accepting the upload, the software will check and verify that the
EDID’s header and checksum values are acceptable.
- Analysis: To analyze any EDID stored within the unit, select the
EDID to view from the dropdown and click on the “ Analysis”
icon.
6.4.2 EDID Creator Tab
• Select: Click on the EDID Creator tab to begin designing a new EDID
from scratch (select the “ New” icon), to modify an existing EDID
stored on the PC as a .bin le (select the “ Load” icon) or to edit
an EDID copied from the unit via the EDID Analyzer’s edit option.
- Selecting “ New” will automatically populate the various EDID
elds with basic information that can be easily edited to match
the user’s preferences.
- Clicking on the “ Load” icon will open a le load window and
after the *.bin le has been selected and loaded the EDID elds
will be populated with the information from that le. The same will
happen when the EDID is copied from the EDID Analyzer window.
8
• Edit: The following tabs provide access to a wide range of EDID
information which can be edited:
- Descriptor: This tab allows for the editing of various description
and information elds within the EDID le such as Manufacturer
Name, Monitor Name, etc.
