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;
xYou want to use your TV's ARC function, but the audio
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.
All our products are designed and manufactured to the highest
quality requirements. Please read this manual first and follow the
instructions in order to fully enjoy the possibilities of this product.

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.
