What this extractor does

The LUOM HY-5001 takes one HDMI source and splits the signal into a pass-through HDMI output plus separate digital optical and analogue RCA stereo audio outputs. It is built for anyone who needs to send sound from a Blu-ray player, games console or streaming stick to an amplifier, soundbar or powered speakers while keeping the picture on a TV or projector.

Installation and common issues

Connect the source to the single HDMI input, run the HDMI output to the display and hook up either the Toslink or RCA cables to the audio system; a 5 V power adapter is included and must be plugged in for the unit to work. The three-position audio-mode switch selects Pass, 2.0CH or 5.1CH — choosing the wrong mode is the usual reason for silent or distorted output, so match the setting to the connected audio gear.

Capacity and headroom

Video passes through at up to 1920 x 1080 resolution with 36-bit deep colour and 30 Hz refresh, while supported audio formats include LPCM 7.1, DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD. The extractor does not handle ARC signals, so TV-internal apps cannot send audio back through this device, and 4K sources above 30 Hz will fall back to 1080P.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the LUOM HY-5001 is passing 1080 video and 7.1 audio correctly after connecting it?

Set the audio mode switch to PASS, play a 7.1 test file from your source, and verify the AV receiver or soundbar displays the matching format while the TV shows a stable 1920 x 1080 picture.

What cables come with the HY-5001 and which ones must I provide for a PS4 to TV plus soundbar setup?

The box includes the extractor, a 5 V power adapter, and a manual; you must supply the HDMI cable from PS4 to the extractor, the HDMI cable from extractor to TV, and either an optical Toslink or RCA stereo cable to the soundbar.

Which audio mode — PASS, 2.0CH, or 5.1CH — should I choose for a 5.1 soundtrack on a Blu-ray player?

Select 5.1CH on the mode switch so the extractor downmixes the incoming multi-channel signal to a 5.1 optical or RCA output that matches your amplifier or soundbar capability.
