About the HDMI CEC Link

About the HDMI link function



The HDMI link function of this unit enables you to link the operation of equipment using the standard HDMI CEC

protocol.



This function can be used by connecting the unit with your HDMI-compatible equipment (such as TVs and players)

using an HDMI cable (supplied or not supplied).

To use the HDMI link function, the setting needs to be made on each connected device. For more information, refer to
the operating instructions of the connected equipment.



Some linked operations may be available on equipment connected to the unit via an HDMI cable even if it is not

recommended equipment. However, FORMOSA PROSONIC INDUSTRIES BERHAD shall not guarantee such linked
operations. Also note that some linked operations may not be available on certain types of recommended equipment.



When you change the connections or settings of HDMI-linked equipment, you should carry out the following:

• Turn on all the connected equipment and then turn the unit off and on again.

• Check every piece of connected equipment to make sure it is working.

The number assigned to each equipment may change depending on the connections.

HDMI is a digital audio/video interface that connects

high-definition video signals, multi-channel audio signals
and control signals supporting two-way transmissions
with a single cable. High-definition images and sounds
can be enjoyed just by a simple connection since the
digital signals are not compressed for transmission.



HDMI CEC function

HDMI CEC Link is a function to control HDMI CEC Link

compatible TVs, BD/DVD players and audio amplifiers
mainly using the HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics

5.1-channel surround

The “monaural” and “stereo” systems use one and two

speakers respectively to reproduce sounds. Meanwhile,

5.1-channel surround uses five speakers and one

subwoofer for sound output. The name “5.1-channel

surround” originates from its sound reproduction method

using all of five channels consisting of one center

speaker, two front speakers and two side or rear

surround speakers; as well as 0.1 channel of subwoofers

which generates a narrower sound field than other

speakers. You can enjoy 5.1-channel like surround effect

from this product using the DOLBY VS (DOLBY Virtual

Speaker).

AAC

AAC is an audio compression format which was

declared an international standard.
It is adopted for “MPEG-2”, an image compression

format for terrestrial digital/BS/CS broadcasting. AAC’s

MPEG-1.



ARC (Audio Return Channel)

ARC is a function to transmit the digital sound such as

Dolby Digital and AAC from the receiving component (TV,

etc.) to the transmitting component (AV amplifier, etc.) via

an HDMI cable.
Conventionally, the TV and amplifier need to be

connected with an optical digital cable in order to output

the sound from a TV tuner to an amplifier. Between ARC-

PCM

PCM is a format to covert an analog sound signal into a

digital signal. It encodes analog signals into digital format

and involves no compression process. The signal

converted by this method is called PCM signal and used

for music CDs and DVDs.



Sampling frequency

Sampling is recording sound waves (analog signals) at

regular intervals and digitalizing the height of the sound

waves.
The number of samples obtained in one second is called

the sampling frequency. As the sampling frequency gets

higher, the sound closer to the original can be

reproduced and higher sound quality can be achieved.
