4. 설치 및 설정

Follow these steps to set up your CAMWAY eARC Audio Extractor:

1. TV에 연결: Use the included HDMI cable to connect the 'eARC IN' port on the extractor to the HDMI ARC or eARC port on your television. Ensure your TV's HDMI port supports ARC/eARC.
2. Activate TV Settings: Access your TV's settings menu and activate the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) function. This is often required for ARC/eARC functionality.
3. Set TV Audio Output: In your TV's audio settings, configure the audio output to 'HDMI ARC/eARC'. For 5.1 channel optical output, ensure the TV's audio format is set to 'Bitstream' or 'Auto'. For RCA/3.5mm stereo output, set the TV's audio format to 'PCM'.
4. 오디오 장치 연결: Connect your desired audio output devices (soundbar, amplifier, headphones) to the corresponding ports on the extractor (Optical, RCA, or 3.5mm). You can use multiple outputs simultaneously.
5. 전원 켜기: Connect the included USB power cable to the 'DC5V PWR' port on the extractor and plug the other end into a USB power source (e.g., a TV USB port or a 5V/1A USB power adapter). Turn on the extractor using the ON/OFF switch.

중요 참고 사항: For stable operation, especially when using RCA or 3.5mm outputs or if your audio system does not support Bitstream, it is recommended to use an independent USB power adapter for power supply to avoid issues caused by unstable power from the TV's USB port.
