How to install 4x1 HDMI 4K60Hz Switch with ARC & Audio Extractor
Setting up the 4x1 HDMI 4K60Hz Switch with ARC & Audio Extractor is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to get everything running quickly:
1) Connect your HDMI sources to the four input ports on the switch using high-quality HDMI cables. This can include a gaming console, Blu-ray player, streaming device, and a cable/satellite box.
2) Connect the switch’s HDMI output to your TV or display using a standard HDMI cable. Ensure the TV is set to the correct HDMI input corresponding to the switch’s output.
3) If you want to use ARC, connect an ARC-enabled HDMI input on your TV to your soundbar or AV receiver via an HDMI cable, and enable ARC/CEC in the TV’s audio settings. This allows TV-sourced audio to travel back through the HDMI chain to your external speakers.
4) To enable the built-in audio extractor, connect the Optical (TOSLINK) and/or analog 3.5mm outputs to your external audio system or receiver. This gives you flexible routing for legacy gear or dedicated audio setups.
5) Power on the switch using the included power supply, turn on your connected devices, and use the remote or the front-panel controls to select the active input. For the best experience, confirm that your display supports the chosen resolution and refresh rate, and that HDMI cables are rated for the required bandwidth.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a 4x1 HDMI 4K60Hz Switch with ARC & Audio Extractor? A 4x1 HDMI switcher allows you to connect up to four HDMI source devices to a single HDMI display, while ARC enables two-way audio with compatible TVs and sound systems. The built-in audio extractor provides additional outputs (optical and/or analog) so you can route audio to external speakers or receivers that don’t support HDMI audio directly.
- Does this switch support 4K60Hz? Yes. It is designed to handle 4K resolutions at 60Hz with support for 4:4:4 chroma and HDR content where available, ensuring sharp images and smooth motion for compatible displays and content.
- Can I use ARC with my soundbar? Absolutely. ARC lets your TV pass audio to your soundbar or AV receiver over the same HDMI cable used to connect your TV, reducing cable clutter and simplifying setup.
- What about audio extraction? The switch includes an audio extractor that outputs to optical (TOSLINK) and/or analog stereo. This is useful if your audio system doesn’t support HDMI audio passthrough or you want to route audio separately for improved sound quality.
- Is HDMI-CEC or remote control included? Yes. The device supports CEC for simplified control with compatible TVs and devices, and it typically includes a remote to switch inputs from a distance for convenient operation.

- Will this work with any TV? It should work with most HDMI-compatible TVs and displays. For best results, ensure your TV’s HDMI settings (HDMI input mode, HDR, and CEC) are configured to work with external devices and ARC where applicable.
- Do I need to install drivers? No. This is a plug-and-play device that operates without drivers. Simply connect your devices, power it, and use the remote or front controls to switch inputs.
