Description:
Are you looking to route HDMI and 5.1/7.1 LPCM Audio to your
existing Surround Sound System? This unique 4x2 HDMI switch
routes both HDMI and 5.1/7.1 LPCM (8ch.) Analog Audio. Perfect
for systems using PS3 which has internal LPCM decoding on
HDMI. The 4x2 can take the decoded LPCM from the PS3 and
convert to 5.1/7.1 (8ch.) Analog Audio for easy integration with
your high end 5.1/7.1 audio receiver/amp. In addition, an Auxillary
5.1/7.1 (8ch.) audio Input allows you to connect a second Analog
5.1/7.1 source to your surround system.
Changing EDID mode:
It is recommended to keep the EDID in the factory default MODE1.
If necessary, you may set to different EDID mode by following these
instructions.
