For safety purposes you must not rebuild or modify the power supply. Improper use can cause hazards, for which
we assume no liability. Read this manual carefully and retain it for future reference.

Insert the required country plug into the adapter. The plugs are keyed to avoid incorrect insertion. Push the adapter
firmly towards the housing, push it down and allow the latch on the power supply to click into place. To remove,
slide the locking button to the back. Make sure the plug is locked firmly in place before use.

Never insert the plug separately into a mains socket!

DEUTSCH – Sicherheitshinweise

Aus Sicherheitsgründen darf das Netzteil nicht geöffnet werden. Für Schäden und Gefahren, die durch
unsachgemäße Handhabung entstehen, übernehmen wir keine Haftung. Lesen Sie diese Bedienungsanleitung
sorgfältig und bewahren Sie sie auf.

Stecken Sie den entsprechenden Länderadapter in das Netzteil. Die Konstruktion der Adapter verhindert ein
falsches Einsetzen. Drücken Sie den Adapter fest gegen das Gehäuse und achten Sie darauf, dass der Riegel

Adapter wieder vom Netzteil abnehmen und durch einen anderen ersetzen wollen, ziehen Sie den Riegel nach
hinten und entnehmen Sie den Stecker-Adapter.

Stecken Sie niemals einen Länderadapter separat in eine Steckdose!

Installation and operation

The following graphics show the Audio Extractor connected in two typical set ups:

Audio Embedding

For Audio Embedding, where an external audio source is used to replace the original HDMI audio, an
HDMI source (e.g. Bluray player) is attached to the HDMI input port using a HDMI cable and the audio
source (e.g. CD player) is connected using either TOSLink or Phono/3.5mm to 3.5mm cable to the
corresponding input port. The HDMI output port is then connected to a HDMI display.

Audio Extraction

For Audio Extraction, where audio is extracted either from an HDMI source or from an HDTV’s ARC
channel, the HDMI source (e.g. Bluray player) is attached to the HDMI input port using a HDMI cable
and an external sound device or devices (speakers, sound bar or amplifier) are connected using either
TOSLink or 3.5mm to Phono/3.5mm cable connected to the corresponding output port. The HDMI output
port is then connected to an HDMI display using a HDMI cable.

* Note: When HDMI ARC is enabled audio output is only possible via TOSLink. In addition when HDMI

ARC is enabled audio extraction from an HDMI source connected to HDMI In can only be achieved via

the 3.5mm stereo interface.

HDMI display equipment. Installations using multiple HDMI displays require the Audio Extractor to be
