①Transmitter: ARC; Receiver: ARC
The audio signal is transmitted from the HDTV display back to HDMI IN and AUDIO
OUT ports.
Connection procedure:
Step1.Connect the OPTICAL OUT port of the Transmitter to the OPTICAL IN port of
the Receiver with two OM3/OM4 multi-mode fiber cables.
Step2.Connect an amplifier to the HDMI IN port of Transmitter, and then connect HDMI
source device (e.g. Blue-ray DVD) and Speaker to the amplifier.
Step3.Connect a broadcast device (e.g. Speaker) to the AUDIO OUT port of
Transmitter with toslink audio cable.
Step4.Connect a display device (e.g. HDTV) to the HDMI OUT port of Receiver with
HDMI cable.
Step5.Bi-directional IR control:
Both Transmitter and Receiver have IR IN and IR OUT port. When one model
use for IR signal receiver, the IR signal must be sent out by the other model.
For example: When IR IN port of Transmitter connects with an IR Receiver, the
IR Emitter must be connected to the IR OUT port of Receiver.
Step6.Bi-directional RS232 control:
Both Transmitter and Receiver have RS232 port. When one model use for
control device, the other must be used for the third-party device needed to be
controlled.
For example: When RS232 port of Transmitter connects with a control PC, the
third-party device must be connected to the RS232 port of Receiver.
