3.1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Marmitek Connect AE24
UHD 2.0™!
Connecting a TV to this type of audio equipment can often lead to
problems when:
xYour TV, monitor or projector does not have a separate
audio output;

amplifier is not equipped with it;
xYou want to connect various HDMI sources to a soundbar
that has too few connections;
xYour AV receiver does not support 4K UHD or 3D video
formats;
xYour TV only has a digital audio output (TOSlink or coaxial),
but you want to connect a stereo HiFi set.
The Connect AE24 UHD 2.0™ allows you to separate the sound
from the HDMI signal and connect it to your audio equipment
(home cinema set, AV receiver or soundbar). The
Connect AE24 UHD 2.0™ can be used as a versatile problem
solver when connecting your audio equipment.

4 Getting started
4.1 Installation tips
xTurn off all devices (TV and HDMI sources) before
connecting them to the Connect AE24 UHD 2.0™. If a device
cannot be turned off, please remove the plug from the

4.2 Installation

© MARMITEK
10
1. Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI source (digital TV
decoder, Chromecast, media player) to the "Input” (1).
2. Use an HDMI cable to connect the TV (monitor or projector)
to "Output 1” (2). If you want to use the ARC function (refer to
page 11), your TV needs to support this. Please refer to your
TV's user manual to check which HDMI port supports ARC.
3. Use the appropriate cable to connect your audio device
(home cinema set, AV receiver or soundbar) to the output (3)
marked "Audio only”, “Digital audio" or "Analogue audio".
xAudio only: use an HDMI cable. This output only
reproduces audio and supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X
and all other common audio formats.
xDigital audio: use an optical (Toslink) or coaxial cable.
This audio output supports the DTS 5.1, Dolby
Digital/AC3 and PCM 2.0CH stereo formats.
xAnalogue audio: use a stereo jack cable; this output
supports the analogue stereo audio format.
4. Connect the power adapter to the "DC 5V" input (4) and
insert the plug into the socket.

5 Use
5.1 Audio settings
Select the desired audio settings by using the EDID and ARC
buttons at the front of the Connect AE24 UHD 2.0™.
5.1.1 Audio Return Channel (ARC)
If your AV amplifier is connected via the "Audio out", there may be
a slight lag between your TV's image and the sound coming from
the AV amplifier. This is caused by image processing on your TV
and is sometimes referred to as lip sync problem. The
Connect AE24 UHD 2.0™ supports ARC (Audio Return Channel).
This involves the sound first being sent to the TV, and then
returned by your TV at exactly the right moment, using the same
HDMI cable. This allows you, without the use of additional wiring
or settings, to synchronise images and sound. The "ARC" switch
allows you to enable or disable this feature.
ARC must be supported by your TV to be able to use this feature.
If your TV does not support ARC, you can either turn off image
processing on your TV, or delay the audio coming from your AV
amplifier or HDMI source. Please refer to your device's manual for
the correct settings.
5.1.2 Audio format settings
Using the EDID button, you can set the desired audio format for
your audio equipment. In standard situations, it will be sufficient to
select OUTPUT 1 or 2. However, should you experience any
problems, please select another format manually.
xOutput 1 automatically detects the best possible audio format
that is supported by your TV.
xOutput 2 automatically detects the best possible audio format
that is supported by your AV receiver.
x7.1CH supports up to HD audio.
x5.1CH supports up to DTS and Dolby Digital/AC3 audio.
x2.0CH supports 2-channel audio.
