4. ຄໍາແນະນໍາການດໍາເນີນງານ

4.1 ການປ່ຽນແຫຼ່ງທີ່ມາຂອງອິນພຸດ

You can switch between connected HDMI sources using either the button on the device or the included infrared remote control.

• ການປ່ຽນດ້ວຍມື: Press the "Auto/Input" button on the front panel of the VAX04101A to cycle through the HDMI inputs (1, 2, 3). The corresponding LED will illuminate.
• ການປ່ຽນການຄວບຄຸມໄລຍະໄກ: Use the "In1", "In2", "In3" buttons on the remote control to directly select the desired HDMI input. The "Auto Source" button can also be used for automatic switching.
• ສະຫຼັບອັດຕະໂນມັດ: The switch can automatically switch to the last activated device if it powers off completely. Note that some streaming boxes may not fully power off, requiring manual selection.

4.2 ການຕັ້ງຄ່າ EDID ສຽງ

The Audio-EDID settings determine the maximum audio format transmitted to your soundbar. This is crucial for ensuring your soundbar receives the highest quality audio it supports.

Image: The VAX04101A front panel showing Audio-EDID settings (Auto, 2.0, 5.1, 7.1) and indicators for 4K, HDR, and Dolby Vision support.

• ອັດຕະໂນມັດ: The switch negotiates the audio format based on the capabilities of your TV or video projector. This may limit advanced formats if your TV does not support them.
• 2.0: Forces stereo audio output.
• 5.1: Forces 5.1 channel audio output. Select this if your soundbar supports 5.1 but not 7.1 or Dolby Atmos/DTS-X.
• 7.1: Forces 7.1 channel audio output. Select this if your soundbar supports Dolby Atmos or DTS-X, as these formats are often transmitted within a 7.1 LPCM container.

Use the "Audio-EDID" buttons on the front panel or the remote control to select the appropriate setting. For optimal Dolby Atmos/DTS-X experience, select "7.1" if your soundbar supports it.

4.3 eARC Functionality

The eARC feature allows the sound from your TV's internal tuner or smart apps to be played through your connected soundbar.

Image: A diagram illustrating how the VAX04101A transmits internal TV sound (from cable TV, satellite TV, or smart TV apps) to the soundbar via the ARC connection.

• To enable or disable eARC, press the "eARC on/off" button on the front panel or the "ARC" button on the remote control.
• When eARC is active, audio from your TV's internal sources will be routed to the soundbar.
• If your soundbar has additional HDMI inputs, you can connect sources directly to the soundbar and use the VAX04101A for other sources. In this scenario, ensure input 1 and eARC are selected on the switch.
