Panel Description
1. Power LED: The LED illuminates red when power is applied.
2. ARC Mode: Press the button with paper clip or other sharp tool to enable the ARC
mode, and then the left LED illuminates blue. Press it again to exit the ARC mode
and the LED is off.
3. ARC Audio In: Toslink connector to connect ARC audio source device (e.g.TV).
4. FW: Micro-USB port for firmware upgrade.
5. HDMI Out:Type-A female HDMI output port to connect HDMI display (e.g.TV).
6. Audio Breakout: If the ARC mode is OFF, the Toslink connector is connected to
speaker or amplifier for HDMI source audio de-embedding. Note that if the ARC
mode is ON, this port has no audio output.
7. IR In: 3.5mm jack to connect the IR receiver for IR pass-through.
8. IR Out: 3.5mm jack to connect the IR emitter for IR pass-through.
9. RS232: 3-pin terminal block to connect the RS232 control device (e.g. PC) or a
third-party device to be controlled.
10. HDBT In: RJ45 port to connect the HDBT output port of transmitter by CATx
Ethernet cable. The LINK LED illuminates orange when there is a valid HDBaseT
link between the transmitter and the receiver. The HDCP LED illuminates green
when the video contains HDCP content.
11. DC 24V: DC connector for the power adapter connection.

ON
ARC is supported
The TV audio is transmitted from the TV
back to the receiver via HDMI cable, and
then it will be output by the ARC Audio
Out port of transmitter.
ARC is not supported
Connect the TV to the ARC Audio In port
of receiver with an audio cable. The TV
audio is transmitted from the TV back to
the receiver via the audio cable, and then it
will be output by the ARC Audio Out port
of transmitter.
Note that if the ARC mode is ON, the
Audio Breakout port of receiver has no
audio output.
OFF /
The TV audio can’t be back to the ARC
Audio Out port of transmitter. The Audio
Breakout port of receiver is connected to
speaker or amplifier for HDMI source audio
de-embedding.

System Connection
The following diagram illustrates the typical input and output connections of the
extender:
1) The ARC mode of receiver is ON, and the display device (e.g. HDTV) supports
ARC. The TV audio is transmitted from the TV back to the receiver via HDMI cable,
and then it will be output by the ARC Audio Out port of transmitter.
Note: The STP cable is recommended to be used to ensure optimal machine
performance in ARC mode.
