What the HY-5001 does

The ESTONE HY-5001 extracts audio from an HDMI source and sends it to separate digital and analogue outputs while passing the video onward. It accepts one HDMI input at up to 1920 x 1080 resolution and provides HDMI, optical TOSLINK and RCA stereo outputs. The unit is aimed at installers and home-theatre owners who need to feed an older amplifier or active speakers from a modern HDMI source.

When to add this extractor

The HY-5001 replaces a direct HDMI-to-HDMI link when the display handles video but the audio system lacks HDMI input. It is worth adding when a Blu-ray player, games console or streaming stick must connect to a soundbar, AV receiver or powered speakers that only accept optical or RCA connections. Buyers who need multichannel audio beyond 5.1CH or support for resolutions above 1080P should look elsewhere.

Installing the HY-5001

Connect the source to the HDMI input, run the HDMI output to the display, and attach either the optical or RCA cables to the audio system. A 5 V power adapter is included and must be plugged in for the extractor to function. The three-position audio-mode switch selects PASS, 2.0CH or 5.1CH; choosing the wrong mode can silence the optical output, so verify the setting matches the connected equipment.

Questions about this item

What physical space does the HY-5001 need for its 5-inch cable and power adapter?

The unit ships with a 5-inch attached cable and an external 5 V power adapter, so allow room behind the source device for the cable bend and a nearby mains socket for the adapter.

Which step do users often miss when setting the 2.0 or 5.1 audio mode?

After connecting the HDMI source and display, use the mode switch to select PASS, 2.0CH or 5.1CH before powering on; the extractor will not auto-detect the desired format.

When should the 5 V power adapter be replaced?

Replace the adapter if the status LED fails to light, audio drops out intermittently, or the unit no longer passes 1080 video to the display.
