FeinTech VAX00102 HDMI 2.0 ARC 4K HDR Audio Extractor User Manual

1. 서론

The FeinTech VAX00102 is an advanced HDMI 2.0 audio extractor designed to separate audio from an HDMI signal and route it to an AV receiver, soundbar, or active speakers. It supports resolutions up to Ultra-HD / 4K HDR (up to 18 Gbps data rate) with lossless HDMI signal transmission. This device is backward compatible with all lower resolutions and includes features to enhance compatibility with older HDMI 1.3/1.4 devices.

For 5.1 channel audio, connect your 4K player to the HDMI IN of the VAX00102. Connect the HDMI OUT to your 4K TV. Use the SPDIF or Coaxial output from the VAX00102 to connect to your 5.1 sound system. Ensure your HDMI source is configured to output Bitstream (Dolby Digital or DTS) instead of PCM for 5.1 audio via SPDIF/Coaxial.

5.3 Using Audio Return Channel (ARC)

To use ARC, connect the HDMI OUT port of the VAX00102 to the ARC-enabled HDMI input on your TV. Connect the SPDIF or Coaxial output of the VAX00102 to your audio system. Ensure ARC is enabled on both your TV and the VAX00102. Note that ARC audio is only available via the digital SPDIF and Coaxial outputs, not the analog RCA outputs.

6. 사용 설명서

6.1 Audio Mode Switch (EDID)

The audio mode switch allows you to manually control the audio format output by the HDMI source. This is useful when your audio system has specific format requirements or when you want to ensure a particular audio output.

• Auto / Bypass: The output audio format is determined by the best format supported by the connected HDMI display device.
• 2.0 (Stereo): The output is stereo (LPCM 2.0) on all audio outputs.
• 5.1: The output is in 5.1 audio format (Dolby Digital / AC-3 or DTS), provided the 5.1 soundtrack is available from the source.

Important Note on 5.1 Audio via SPDIF/Coaxial: For 5.1 audio transmission via SPDIF or Coaxial, set your HDMI source to output 비트스트림 (e.g., Dolby Digital or DTS) instead of PCM. Ensure you select Dolby Digital, not Dolby Digital Plus, if applicable.

6.2 HDMI 1.3/1.4 Compatibility Switch

If you are connecting an older HDMI 1.3 or 1.4 source device to a newer HDMI 2.0 TV, you may encounter compatibility issues. Use this switch to downgrade the HDMI signal to 1.3/1.4, which can improve compatibility.

6.3 Video Stop Switch

This switch allows you to disable the video output, making the TV screen go black. This feature is useful if you only require audio output from the HDMI source and want to conserve power or avoid display issues.

6.4 볼륨 조절

Volume control should be managed at the source device (e.g., media player) or your audio system (AV receiver, soundbar), not on the TV, to ensure proper audio levels.

6.5 지원되는 오디오 형식

• Digital Outputs (SPDIF, Coaxial): AC3 / Dolby Digital 2.0 and 5.1, DTS 5.1, Stereo PCM.
• 아날로그 RCA 출력: Stereo PCM only.
• HDMI 출력: All formats, including Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, and multi-channel PCM. Note that Dolby Atmos can ONLY be transmitted via HDMI, not via other audio outputs.

7. 유지관리

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your FeinTech VAX00102, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

8. 문제 해결

If you encounter issues with your VAX00102, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• 오디오 출력 없음:
  • 모든 케이블 연결이 안전한지 확인하십시오.
  • Verify the audio mode switch (EDID) setting. Try "Auto/Bypass" first.
  • Ensure your audio source is outputting a compatible audio format for your connected audio system.
  • If using SPDIF/Coaxial for 5.1 audio, confirm the source is set to Bitstream (Dolby Digital/DTS), not PCM.
  • Check the volume levels on your source device and audio system.
• 비디오 출력 없음:
  • Ensure the HDMI cables are connected correctly and are not damaged.
  • Check if the "Video Stop" switch is accidentally activated.
  • Try connecting the HDMI source directly to the TV to rule out source or TV issues.
• ARC가 작동하지 않음:
  • Confirm that your TV's HDMI port supports ARC and that ARC is enabled in your TV's settings.
  • Ensure the HDMI cable is connected to the ARC-enabled HDMI port on your TV.
  • Remember that ARC audio is only available via SPDIF and Coaxial outputs, not analog RCA.
• Compatibility Issues with Older Devices:
  • Utilize the HDMI 1.3/1.4 compatibility switch to improve connection stability with older source devices.
