5.2 Connecting to a 5.1 Sound System

בילד 5.1: Connection diagram for a 4K player with 5.1 sound (Dolby Digital / DTS) to a 5.1 sound system and 4K TV via the VAX00102.

For 5.1 channel audio, connect your 4K player to the HDMI IN of the VAX00102. Connect the HDMI OUT to your 4K TV. Use the SPDIF or Coaxial output from the VAX00102 to connect to your 5.1 sound system. Ensure your HDMI source is configured to output Bitstream (Dolby Digital or DTS) instead of PCM for 5.1 audio via SPDIF/Coaxial.

5.3 Using Audio Return Channel (ARC)

בילד 5.2: Connection diagram for ARC functionality, where TV audio is sent back to the VAX00102 and then to a 5.1 sound system via SPDIF. Note that analog RCA outputs do not support ARC audio.

To use ARC, connect the HDMI OUT port of the VAX00102 to the ARC-enabled HDMI input on your TV. Connect the SPDIF or Coaxial output of the VAX00102 to your audio system. Ensure ARC is enabled on both your TV and the VAX00102. Note that ARC audio is only available via the digital SPDIF and Coaxial outputs, not the analog RCA outputs.

6.1 Audio Mode Switch (EDID)

The audio mode switch allows you to manually control the audio format output by the HDMI source. This is useful when your audio system has specific format requirements or when you want to ensure a particular audio output.

• Auto / Bypass: The output audio format is determined by the best format supported by the connected HDMI display device.
• 2.0 (Stereo): The output is stereo (LPCM 2.0) on all audio outputs.
• 5.1: The output is in 5.1 audio format (Dolby Digital / AC-3 or DTS), provided the 5.1 soundtrack is available from the source.

Important Note on 5.1 Audio via SPDIF/Coaxial: For 5.1 audio transmission via SPDIF or Coaxial, set your HDMI source to output ביטסטרים (e.g., Dolby Digital or DTS) instead of PCM. Ensure you select Dolby Digital, not Dolby Digital Plus, if applicable.

6.2 HDMI 1.3/1.4 Compatibility Switch

If you are connecting an older HDMI 1.3 or 1.4 source device to a newer HDMI 2.0 TV, you may encounter compatibility issues. Use this switch to downgrade the HDMI signal to 1.3/1.4, which can improve compatibility.

6.3 Video Stop Switch

This switch allows you to disable the video output, making the TV screen go black. This feature is useful if you only require audio output from the HDMI source and want to conserve power or avoid display issues.

6.4 באַנד קאָנטראָל

Volume control should be managed at the source device (e.g., media player) or your audio system (AV receiver, soundbar), not on the TV, to ensure proper audio levels.

6.5 Supported Audio Formats

• Digital Outputs (SPDIF, Coaxial): AC3 / Dolby Digital 2.0 and 5.1, DTS 5.1, Stereo PCM.
• אַנאַלאָג RCA אַוטפּוץ: Stereo PCM only.
• HDMI רעזולטאַט: All formats, including Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, and multi-channel PCM. Note that Dolby Atmos can ONLY be transmitted via HDMI, not via other audio outputs.

  • Ensure the HDMI cable is connected to the ARC-enabled HDMI port on your TV.
  • Remember that ARC audio is only available via SPDIF and Coaxial outputs, not analog RCA.
• Compatibility Issues with Older Devices:
  • Utilize the HDMI 1.3/1.4 compatibility switch to improve connection stability with older source devices.
