VAX01301 HDMI Audio Extractor with wireless audio transmission and ARC

This adapter enables wireless audio output or via RCA and optical connection - from a TV with HDMI-ARC or an HDMI source

The VAX01301 is used to output the audio from an HDMI signal wirelessly via Bluetooth or via RCA (analog) and SPDIF Toslink (digital). This allows you to use wireless headphones or Bluetooth speakers to output the audio. Or active speakers and a stereo system connected to the audio outputs via a cable.

Sound from TV:

If your TV supports HDMI-ARC (or HDMI-eARC), the VAX01301 can be connected to it, providing additional audio from apps and the receiver. HDMI-ARC is activated at the touch of a button. To enable stereo and wireless output (Bluetooth audio cannot handle 5.1 audio!), the TV's audio format must be set to PCM stereo , not Bitstream or Dolby. When HDMI-ARC is enabled on your TV, most TVs will mute their internal speakers.

Sound from the player:

The HDMI audio extractor can also deliver the audio from a player such as Fire TV, Apple TV, etc. that is connected to its HDMI input. A television, monitor, or video projector can be connected to the HDMI output. Ultra HD video resolutions up to 4k 60Hz HDR or Dolby Vision are supported. Stereo audio is also output wirelessly or via RCA/SPDIF from this input. 5.1 audio with Dolby Digital or DTS can only be extracted via SPDIF Toslink. Simultaneous use of Bluetooth and audio from the RCA/SPDIF outputs is not possible . The audio from the player is always transmitted in parallel to the television, allowing you to hear it through the TV speakers at the same time if desired. The maximum audio format of the player can be limited using the 2.0/5.1 or Advanced (Audio EDID mode) selection button. For example, to stereo to enable Bluetooth audio transmission. In Advanced mode, all audio formats are supported. But higher audio formats can only be transmitted via HDMI, not via RCA or Toslink.

Volume control

The VAX01301 delivers constant audio output levels. The volume of digital audio signals can only be adjusted after analog conversion, i.e., on the headphones or sound system. Many TVs or media players offer a learning remote control for controlling the sound system. HDMI-CEC is passed between the HDMI input and output. The VAX01301 is powered via USB (power adapter not included), e.g., from the TV. Alternatively, any USB power adapter can be used.

Notes:

• Wireless output via the built-in Bluetooth audio transmitter or RCA is only possible with stereo sound. When using ARC, please set the TV to PCM for stereo sound.
• Dolby Digital & DTS 5.1 sound is only output via SPDIF Toslink
• Higher audio formats can only be passed through via HDMI and cannot be extracted
• No ARC sound device can be connected to the HDMI input of the VAX01301. ARC from the TV cannot be passed through.
• Volume control is only possible on the sound device, not on the player or TV.
