Best practice & hints for use in eARC Audio Extractor
mode:
• Activate eARC on the TV
• Set your TV to Audio Passthrough Mode for support of PCM5.1/
PCM7.1, for Dolby Atmos sometimes Auto mode is better
• Power on AVR, VAX01202 and TV before starting the gaming
console or media player
• Some new TVs do not passthrough DTS audio. In that case let
your player decode the DTS audio to PCM5.1/7.1.
• You can control volume and mute/unmute with the TV remote
via HDMI-CEC, if your AVR supports that through its HDMI input.
• Automatic switch off for TV and AVR works fine in many com-
binations. Automatic switch-on of AVR is often not possible.
However, there are some TV and AVR combinations which won't
start up or shut down automatically via the VAX01202.
• Some old AVR does not support volume control via their inputs.
In such a case you can configure your TV remote control to send
infrared commands directly to the sound system. To do that,
open universal device control (or similiar) in your TV menu and
configure it for your sound system. Apple TV or Fire TV Cube
have the same universal device control function, in case your
TV has not.
