Product Description
Split up HDMI Audio into 8-Channel Surround Sound w/Amplification The GefenTV Home Theater Audio Processor takes one HDMI source, converts the digital audio to 8 channels of stereo audio, and processes the resultant audio to meet Surround Sound format requirements. The Audio Processor also provides 25 watts per channel power amplification on the output jacks for added convenience to the customer. How it works Simply attach your HDMI video source to the HDMI input of the Home Theater Audio Processor. Attach your analog or digital stereo patch cables on the rear of the Audio Processor at the audio outputs (analog RCA jacks or a TOSlink digital output). Power cycle all connected equipment. You will now hear up to 8-channel Surround Sound audio from your HDMI audio/video source material. Should you wish to fine-tune settings, you can adjust the controls on the Audio Processor via the included IR remote and the unit's LCD display. Note: This device supports both digital and analog audio output.
