How to get 5.1 Surround Sound Channel Audio with the HAX05?

First of all, please connect your HAX05 to all relevant devices properly. See the above FAQs under Set Up Procedure for more information.

If you are using HDMI ARC passthrough:

1. The audio source needs to be set to 5.1
2. The receiver (Speaker system/AV receiver) needs to support 5.1
3. Slide the ARC Soundbar switch to ON
4. Use the HDMI ARC OUT to connect the HAX05 to your speakers/receivers or transmitter

If you are using OPT:

1. The audio source (Roku, Blu-ray, PS5, etc.) needs to be set to 5.1
2. The receiver (Speaker system/AV receiver) needs to support 5.1
3. Slide the ARC Soundbar switch to OFF
4. Use the OPT port to connect the HAX05 to your speakers/receivers or transmitter

We recommend the Avantree Orbit Bluetooth Transmitter for wireless streaming. There is no need to switch your TV audio to PCM and you can receive 5.1CH audio from your ARC soundbar (with HAX05 in passthrough mode) and 2.0CH when streaming to Bluetooth headphones.
