[AUDIO EXTRACTION] Simply put, the HAX05 acts as a “translator” that converts HDMI ARC audio signals into digital or analog formats for ultimate flexibility. This not only makes it ideal for near-universal use, but also allows you to maintain the highest quality sound possible. Please note that it does NOT extract HDMI video. | [PASS-THROUGH CAPABILITIES] The HAX05’s unique pass-through feature allows you to simultaneously stream audio through both an existing HDMI ARC soundbar and Bluetooth headphones (when connected to a Bluetooth transmitter), all via your TV’s single HDMI ARC port. Household members will be able to listen through the soundbar while you use headphones, or vice versa. | [TWO SIMULTANEOUS AUDIO OUTPUTS] There are few products on the market that can extract from HDMI ARC to RCA (analog audio). Not only does the HAX05 support this function, it can also simultaneously output to both optical (digital audio) and RCA. | [CEC SUPPORT] When used with TVs and sound systems that also have CEC (Consumers Electronic Control) support, the HAX05 allows you to reduce the number of remote controls needed to operate your home theater. | [WIDE COMPATIBILITY] The HAX05 works with any TV with an HDMI ARC audio output, and it’s capable of outputting to HDMI ARC soundbars / AV receivers, digital optical, analog stereo (3.5mm AUX), and RCA audio devices. Please note that it doesn’t work directly with HDMI PS4 / PS5 / Blu-ray and does not output to HDMI soundbar / AV receiver.
