Introduction

The CSC210 is an HDMI eARC audio adapter with audio de-embedding function. It provides three HDMI outputs: one for TV 4K60/HDR video and audio signals, one for the eARC soundbar and one for the HDMI audio amplifier. Additionally, there is a Toslink (optical) and 3.5mm (analog) output.

The video and audio separation function (de-embedding) allows simultaneous output of 4K60/HDR video and audio signals to the TV, via HDMI (eARC) to the soundbar, via HDMI (audio) to the amplifier or optical (Toslink) and analog (3.5mm) to stereo devices.

The TV signal can be transmitted back to the soundbar (eARC) via eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel) to reproduce high-quality surround sound. TVs without eARC function can enjoy the high quality of eARC audio return channel. The built-in eARC automatically detects the signal source (TV or external signal).
