- 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 port, 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 the HAX05 only supports HDMI ARC and NOT HDMI, so it will not work directly with HDMI PS4 / PS5 / Blu-ray and will NOT output to HDMI soundbars / AV receivers.

Back to Top - How does the volume control work with the HAX05? Does it support CEC?
- If your TV is using ARC, in general, the TV's remote control cannot adjust the volume of the TV. The reason is that HDMI ARC is digital audio and therefore not adjustable. The HAX05 does not change this fact.
- If your TV is using ARC, AND both the TV and the soundbar support CEC, then both the TV and the soundbar's remotes can adjust the volume of the ARC soundbar.

Back to Top - My Blu-ray player, PS5, and TV box are all connected to the AVR via HDMI, and the AVR's HDMI ARC port is connected to the TV's HDMI ARC port. Now, how can I add your Bluetooth transmitter to this system?
To integrate our Bluetooth transmitter into your existing setup, in addition to the transmitter itself, you will need an Avantree HAX04.
Here are the steps:
- Connect HAX04 between your AVR and TV, specifically by connecting the HDMI ARC port on your AVR to the IN port on HAX04, and then connecting the OUT port on HAX04 to the HDMI ARC port on your TV.
- Disable "HDMI control" in the AVR settings.
- In the AVR settings, turn on "HDMI audio output".
Only in this way, the AVR will not keep the audio only to itself, but transmit both the audio and video out. Once you've completed these steps, the IN and OUT green lights on HAX04 will indicate that the device is working properly. You can then connect the Bluetooth transmitter to either the optical or AUX port on HAX04.
This will allow the transmitter to receive the audio signal from the HAX04, which will then be transmitted to your Bluetooth headphones for an unparalleled sound experience. Enjoy!
