Operation: The MR188 uses very little power so it is normally left on. If it is powered by the HDMI source, the power is turned off when the HDMI source is turned off. If you plan for more than 2 weeks without using the MR188, we suggest unplugging the power source to it.
If you experience any issues with either the sound quality or TV image quality on the MR188 outputs, try connecting the MR188 power supply. There are no MR188 user adjustments.

HDMI to Stereo Adaptor
Installation Instructions v1.0
At last, there is an easy solution to hear content normally confined to the home theater or TV room, in other rooms and even throughout the whole home! The MR188 extracts a line level stereo signal from almost any HDMI signal without changing the HDMI signal “passing through” in any way. The extracted stereo signal is routed to a stereo or multiroom amplifier and speakers, giving top quality stereo sound in locations other than in the home theater.
The internal Dolby® Digital and DTS® decoder down mixes 5.1 channels of digital audio to analog stereo sound so almost all content can be heard, including movies and other content normally only heard on the TV or in the home theater. Newer lifestyle products such as Google ChromeCast have the ability to play stereo content such as Rhapsody®, Spotify® and other music, news and a host of other services. The ChromeCast output connector is HDMI so in order to hear this content in stereo it needs to be decoded.
The MR188 is normally powered by the HDMI source. In some cases the source is unable to provide adequate power so a USB to mini USB cord is provided which can be powered by nearly any USB power supply.
