My bluray player only has one HMDI port. Can I connect the player to a sound bar and a TV using this splitter? Will both devices work at the same time

The splitter is certified HDMI 1.3 so in theory it should work since the splitter creates 2 identical simultaneous output signals from 1 input single.

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.

The device in the HDMI out port would send the same signal to two devices so it should work with it!

Your welcome :) Actually....if your sound bar has a pair of RCA inputs......then all you need to connect to the digital converter is a pair of RCA cables (red and white). The Mediabridge splitter cable give you the ability to connect (2) different components to one source. If you are just connecting between the sound bar and the digital converter, you do not need the splitter cable. GT:)

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.

I've run mine from my Dish main receiver to this splitter then to my HD TV and my HD projector with a 25' HDMI Cable. Works great what plays on the tv plays on my projector. However we watch our main tv 90 % of the time without using our projector and about 50% of the time I get an error message on my TV screen that said audio not compatible with this device. By accident I found at all I had to do wasto turn off my Dish box with the remote and turn it back on again and voila! Audio worked.

This product will work with any product with a HDMI port/interface! Thus, if your tv has a HDMI input and the blu-Ray player has HDMI out, then it will work! However, this product is designed to allow muntiple HDMI compatible devices to share 1 HDMI port in a tv! Thus, unless you are planning to hook up more than just the blu-ray player to you tv, then there is no need for this product!

HDMI should handle it all - that's the idea. I have HDMI from my BluRay to my Onkyo, and an HDMI from the Onkyo to the HDTV. You could use optical, but should not have to. I use optical to connect the audio from my older DVD player to the Onkyo.

Yes. This is how we have ours set up. Be aware that our soundbar or our blueray player and the switcher seem to have a comparability issue and we can only send 2.1 audio from the switch to our vizio sound bar when using our sony blueray player. If we send 5.1, it drops or partially drops some of the channels.

Not sure since I did not use it for this reason. I imagine your BluRay player has to have the capability to support an internet connection (i.e. integrated software, interface, etc.)

It's designed to use just one....you can plug your cable box & blu ray into the soundbar then out into your tv and flip between the two sources with the remote. However, I sent mine back because it went dead -- no audio. When I got it back the audio problem was fixed but I still couldn't go between 2 sources so I just plugged my blu ray right into the TV. I highly recommend NOT buying this soundbar!

No. The splitter that you refer to will provide multiple HDMI signals for multiple TVs from a single source. What you need is an HDMI switch to select one of multiple inputs to a single output to your TV. I recommend a Kinivo 301BN 3 port high speed HDMI switch with IR remote. Search for it here on Amazon - it's currently $29.95. That will do exactly what you want.

You need a HDMI switch to do multiple in to one out. The splitter just amplifies the input signal and sends it out to two ports. It doesn't separate the signals like a switch does.

If you connect the bluray to the tv, the sound output from the tv to the sound bar should work.

Yes. The HDMI picture and sound from any input can be routed to either or both outputs simultaneously. Watch a blu-ray in one room and a ball game on cable tv in the other room. The SPDIF Digital Optical or Hi-Fi Stereo 3.5mm outputs only go through the A output. This is only limiting if you are not using HDMI to send sound to something like an older AVR or sound bar. The only caveat with almost any splitter is that when switching inputs and outputs it might affect both outputs, meaning the devices resync resulting in temporary picture and or sound loss on one or both outputs. All HDMI components are different and the degree of these switching glitches can vary in length and severity from a few seconds to as much as 20 seconds. This is not necessarily going to be your case but it is likely to happen to some degree and is something most of us can live with. Once you are settled in on your selected sources viewing should be clean on either output. J-Tech makes some good splitters and switches so I would give it try. The worst case scenario is that you end up returning it for a full refund. I would bet it will work for you albeit with some switching transients.

I have to agree with you. I have a playstation 3 and a media extender for streaming vids/TV from my computer. That uses up all my HDMI inputs on the Yamaha. So what happens when I get a new device?? Yeah, I'm not really future proofed at all. I'd like to see 4 HDMI inputs.

I have this exact setup and it works fine. My soundbar has optical input, but my headphones are analog, so the second line from the splitter actually goes to an analog converter, which the wireless headphones connect to. Perfect sound in both the soundbar and the headphones.

If I understand the question you will have multiple devices hooked up to your TV via HDMI and you will use an optical audio cable to connect to the sound bar to play sound from the TV. Yes, the sound will play fine. I have the same set-up for mine. You just need to make sure the "function" is switched to "optical" on the sound bar to have it work.

Only 2 hdmi ports, so make sure you don't need more. I've got my Direct tv signal one hdmi. The other is connected to a sound bar out, which has 2 hdmi in ports. I have the Apple TV and the blue ray player hooked up thru the sound bar, to the TV. This is a small disadvantage, but a fantastic picture and a great price on this TV.
