Hello Oli,

probably you are right. The one you are considering states that it is compatible only with the Huawei brand products and it also consumes a small ammount of energy, so I suppose it has some kind of DAC inside…maybe it will not work.

Hello Steve,

unfortunately I don’t have a UK shipping address. I have tried the apple adapter but it didn’t work. Is there something specific I should pay attention to?

 

Thanks for the reply

PS Is there any other way I can buy cables from you?

Hello again,

I did some rearrangements to the connections and I managed to get the Atlona switch to work. Both sources (apple tv and shield) are showing now but HDR is not available. CEC works with no problem at all. I bought a ugreen switch which supports HDR and boom everything works! There are two issues which remain unsolved though.

Issue nr1: No eARC support so no sound from sources connected to the TV (this includes the apps such as netflix)

Issue nr2: Switching from one display to the other is done manually.

I will continue the search for the switch that would match all the critiria and keep you posted.

 

Thanks for the replies!

Hello again and thank you for the replies.

I already know that the Theatre does not support matrices and I suppose the best solution for me would be a splitter. I have already tried to use my current Atlona switch (AT-UHD-SW-52) but I get no communication between the Theatre and the LG (although I get communication between the Theatre and the projector (epson)). Furthermore I get no picture at all from the LG (although I get picture on the projector). I get no audio from the LG. I played around with the EDID settings, the autoswitch, etc but no luck. I have tried different cables but still the problems persist. It seems that the LG will work only if it is directly connected to the Theatre.

I run all my sources (apple tv and nvidia shield pro) through the theatre so all I need is a splitter that has two mirrored outputs, cec passthrough, earc, 4k, and hdr.

Last but by no means least I tried a ugreen switch which has all the above except mirrored outputs (you need to press a button to switch from one output to the other) but again no luck…

Any ideas?????
