I would like to get this splitter but I'm curious if i set it up so the source sends 5.1 audio would the 2 channel TVs still output sound?

I think so, I have sound at all my TV's hooked thru this but use mainly my 7.1 reciever for sound and tune tv volume to zero.. .

If you can send it directly to the TV without the splitter, then yes. I haven't found a setting that the splitter doesn't support, like its not even there.

Yes, I'm sorry to report we had similar trouble: It knocked out the sound to our whole TV system, which is hooked up through a stereo. We eventually got it back, but every time we plugged the splitter back in, it knocked it out again. I wound up returning it.

I just purchased this splitter to do the same thing. If I go directly from the satellite box to the AVR 5.1 works fine. When I split the signal between the AVR and the TV, the signal to the AVR is now only stereo. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure how to answer. This is a single channel splitter. It will take a single RCA output and split to two. If you have right and left RCA outputs on your TV, you shouldn't need this. If there is a single output, it may not be RCA, as it should be stereo. If it is a digital output (usually yellow), this will not work as you will need a digital converter and amplifier. I hope this info helps you.

Yes, that is correct. This item is designed to split a single source into two outputs. It is not designed to combine two sources into one. So you will need separate inputs on your TV; you might choose the component output for one item and HDMI output for the other.

Yes, an ordinary cable splitter like: RCA DH24SPR Two Way 2.4 Ghz Bi-Di Splitter should be fine. If you have a longer cable run, you may want something with a repeater in it to boost the signal. I've plugged in 2 TVs at a time this way with no problems at all.

I agree with the previous response. It splits the signal perfectly to a separate audio/video output, but I am not sure what the question is about 2 channels. It does maintain the 1080 format as well. The audio output is a stereo signal, so you might be able to simply get a stereo aux cable to split the left and right signal converter anywhere like Radio Shack if you are needing a left and right input into the sling box as opposed to a single aux stereo plug.

So, you've got TWO sources (Xbox and Atv) going into the splitters two-port end and then the single port goes to your sound bar? Unless the splitter is broken or horribly misaligned, your setup SHOULD work. There should be no serious loss in light intensity (signal degradation) going that way, UNLIKE going from a single source to two outputs (light cut in half AT LEAST) where the unit almost never works. The only wrinkle it that you MUST make sure your two sources are not outputting light at the same time. This will produce an unusable input into your light bar. Hope this helps - good luck!

Yes. I haven't tried it yet, but that is what the setup instructions say! It uses 2 of the channels, so you would have 5.1 instead of 7.1 in main room.

If you are watching HD, the audio would be 5.1 surround sound. If you are just distributing the front left and right channels, that's all that would be in those channels-- background music, sound effects...etc. The main voices would be in your center channel. You would need to switch your amp to not be surround sound when distributing, but rather just be stereo (l&r;). Or, try changing to the SD channel broadcast. Those are usually not in surround sound.

Yes I use it as 5.1 and assign the other 2 channels to another location using the second source - Works great

Huntington Thomas Daly, The output will support 5.1 with only the digital TV tuner. For 5.1 audio, you'll want to connect a digital optical audio cable to the source box (Cable/Satellite box, game console, etc) and run that directly to the audio bar. Many audio bars (at least the bar+sub combo) support 2.1, and that would be supported with all devices from the TV. Your DTV tuner will be converted from 5.1 to stereo in that case. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

It depends on the TV also. The Samsung UN55H6350 will only output 2 channel audio from it's HDMI sources, but on-air, coaxial, and Smart App audio will be sent in the format that was received, which could be 5.1 channel. Check on your TV and don't be afraid to call up tech support and be sure.

Can't help you I don't use one of these splitters. I use 1 in and 4 out from my laptop to 4 TVs I also use a 4 in and 2 out with audio extractor Both had to be programed with my CP to work properly.

no. this splitter starts at one source and goes to two different tvs. not one tv to two different sources. sorry. i will say that product is out there. make sure you have good hdmi cables.

My splitter works 2 TV's just fine. I see no reason it would not work just as well with your 2 items provided they are working fine with a single line.

I use this unit to split my cable box HDMI output which them feeds my Sony Receiver and two other Devices. I have found the splitter only works if all the other devices are on. If any one of them is turned off, the splitter won't pass the sound portion of the HDMI signal. I don't think this anything to do with the make of the components.
