Yes, you can set up your Insignia™ HDMI Audio Extractor to achieve this. Here’s how: 1. Connect the HDMI Output: - Connect the HDMI output from the extractor to your TV. This will allow the video and audio to pass through to your TV. 2. Connect the Optical Audio Output: - Connect the optical audio output from the extractor to your 5.1 receiver. 3. Audio Mode Selector: - Use the audio mode selector switch on the extractor to choose between stereo sound (for TV speakers) and 5.1-channel digital output (for the receiver). When you want to use your TV speakers, simply leave the receiver turned off. The audio will still pass through the HDMI connection to your TV speakers. When you want to use your 5.1 receiver, turn it on, and the audio will be routed through the optical connection to your receiver. This setup allows you to switch between using your TV speakers and your 5.1 receiver without needing to change any physical connections.
