AC-AVDM-AUHD
The AC-AVDM-AUHD is and audio down-mixer supporting Dolby® Digital/DTS® Stereo
Audio Decoding. This is used for bypassing bitstream audio over HDMI and down-mixing
to a secondary output for 2Ch audio systems. This unit can manage standard Dolby
Digital & DTS formats up to 6.1 and output the audio as stereo (LPCM 2.0) over HDMI,
S/PDIF (optical and coaxial). Audio can also be set to be managed from ARC.
Key benefits of using AC-AVDM-AUHD:
Down Scaling & Dual Output: The AC-AVDM-AUHD has a scaling circuit built into it.
The scaler can scale 4K (and HDR) --> 1080P. This is ideal for downscaling video for
legacy HDMI AVR's that cannot support high-bandwidth video and bypassing the full
video signal to the sink on the second .
Audio Down-mix: The ideal solution for down-mixing/extracting audio in various
formats - LPCM 7.1CH, DTS, DTS ES, AC3, DD+, Dolby True HD
EDID Management: Use an on-board 4K EDID, or mimic the down stream device.
ARC Management: With ARC (Audio Return Channel) Management you can down-
mix the audio coming back on the ARC Channel for distribution in a 2 Ch system or
legacy AVR.
Detection Indicators: Know it is working by using the simple to read indicator lights
on the front of the unit.

•Light Is On (Solid) = Sync w/ HDMI source is correct and solid.
•Light Is Flashing = The light flashes during the sync process. If it is flashing continuously, a picture may
not be present
•Light Is Off = No Sink or source is detected, please check the cable and check to ensure all connected
devices are powered on.
If the BLUE HDMI SIGNAL STATUS LIGHTS are flashing or are off AND you have no image check the following:
1. The source. Plug it directly into the display to be sure it's functioning properly.
2. Try a longer HDMI cable. Some HDMI cables do not sync well at shorter lengths.
3. Set the EDID to state #1 (See below).
