System Connection
1) When ARC switch is selected to HDMI, and the TV supports ARC, the TV audio can be transmitted back to the transmitter via HDMI output port of receiver, and then it will be output by the ARC OUT & HDMI Source port of transmitter. CEC pass-through is not supported in this mode.
2) When ARC switch is selected to SPDIF, the audio can be transmitted back to the transmitter via ARC IN port of receiver, and then it will be output by the ARC OUT & HDMI Source port of transmitter. Besides, it also supports CEC pass-through in this mode.
3) When ARC switch is selected to PASS, the extender can pass the ARC signal and support CEC pass-through. If the amplifier can work with the TV for ARC function, the ARC audio can be transmitted back to the transmitter via HDMI output port of receiver, and then it will be output by the ARC OUT & HDMI Source port of transmitter.

Note: Please try to restart the extender if ARC function works abnormally.
4) BYOD PC or Dedicated Room PC mode connection

Specification

Note: Please use high-qualified HDMI cable fully compliant with HDMI V2.0 for reliable transmission and connection.
