What is Reddit's opinion of (Newest Version) ROOFULL 5 Port 4K HDMI Switch with Remote Premium 5 in 1 Out UHD 4K@60Hz HDMI 2.0 Switch Box Selector, Support Dolby Vision/ Atmos, HDCP 2.2, HDR 10, Auto-Switch, 18Gbps, CEC, 1080P?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Seems redundant if they are modern game consoles (that can play DVDs/BR and streaming apps)

You should post how many ports you have/need.

Do you need 7 HDMI but only have 3? Plus RCA jacks for VCR? Buy an HDMI switch for your consoles

Dolby Atmos IS supported on the Apple TV 4K 1st Gen. In the audio settings, you need to set Change Format to OFF and Dolby Atmos to ON. You also need to go to Settings > Apps > Music and set Dolby Atmos to Automatic and Audio Quality to Lossless.

Have you considered using an HDMI switch with the Arcana? The ROOFULL switch on Amazon works well with the Arcana.

This one would probably fit the bill and future proof you. Just know that newer systems with HDMI 2.1 need a corresponding rated cable.

Yes. I ended up using this product for this purpose from some other recommendations: (Newest Version) ROOFULL 5 Port 4K HDMI Switch with Remote Premium 5 in 1 Out UHD 4K@60Hz HDMI 2.0 Switch Box Selector, Support Dolby Vision/ Atmos, HDCP 2.2, HDR 10, Auto-Switch, 18Gbps, CEC, 1080P https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083NWKPXW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DGR7K0Z5S9C7D2PY46P8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

It has worked great for this need

Yeah, I was able to get my hands on one which I am using now. It only allows me to turn on the TV but doesnt turn it off. Any ideas?

Here is the switch I currently have:

I have this switch. I have it connected to my sound bar and then the sound bar to my TV through ARC. It works fine and it switches between devices automatically if it detects signal. I currently have the shield, a PS4, a Nintendo Switch and A Wii U connected to it and it works between all of them. Dolby Vision works and gives me no problem.

I have this one and it’s rock solid. The absolute key features are 1. Ability to turn off auto-switch so that you manually control it and 2. Independent power to the switch.

I tried a different one because I wanted to try and mount behind the Tv without more power cords and it was a disaster - the auto switch caused endless chaos with the soundbar. Every time it would switch the soundbar would try and interpret it as a eARC signal and it would switch off HDMI. So many devices are “always on” so it just switches endlessly.

Ya, probably have to return it and try another. I went through one or two before finding in that worked. Not too expensive and auto switches between inputs, works with my PS5, Super NT and N64 on an RCA to hdmi. Good luck

Sure. I got the ROOFULL 5-Port 4K HDMI Switch. I made sure that I looked for one that was HDCP 2.2-compliant. Maybe your switcher isn't compliant enough?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083NWKPXW/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o05\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I ordered https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083NWKPXW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Will see if it works well and then decide on keeping it

Assuming your devices don't exceed bandwidth/feature limits of the switch, it works fine. Because next-gen consoles have higher potential capabilities than video devices (4k/120, etc), best for those to be connected directly to the TV though.

I bought this one, and have an ATV 4K, PS4 and a Nintendo Switch through it. Works just fine.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083NWKPXW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The only thing that I wish was there was a single button to switch game mode on/off for that HDMI port of the TV (or automate it). Haven't tested if ALLM (the HDMI function to do this) passes through the switch though, as the devices I have connected don't have that function.

Thanks for replying and I can offer an update to where I settled in my setup. Ultimately I continued having some problems with the Chromecast wGTV specifically, but I was able to stablize my setup by going back to a Roku Ultra and running all my components through a stable HDMI switch. The soundbar has been awesome and stable finally without any input switching problems. I got this HDMI Switch and run all my components through this to the HDMI In on the Soundbar, then running HDMI from soundbar to any input on the TV: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B083NWKPXW/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_9RXFH8BV7HZ09FHNJY4G?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

The key with this switch is that it allows you to turn off "Auto-switching" so then the user is in control of when to change to a different input. I also went back to using my Roku Ultra and I do not have any issues with the soundbar pulling through the Atmos signals and it never switches off HDMI In. The Chromecast continues to be a bit problematic with some sound not coming through reliably and I have to power cycle to try and get it to come back.

I have a Roofull switch setup, works fine with Harmony https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083NWKPXW/

If anyone ever finds this thread in the future I've managed to get some stability on the soundbar, and I think the biggest reason so far is finding a solid HDMI switch that allows for turning off of the "auto-switch" feature. I ultimately factory re-set the soundbar and installed the firmware update again. I've made sure all HDMI cords are premium certified and this HDMI switch has been the magic ticket I needed:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083NWKPXW/

The biggest thing this switch brings is the ability to turn off auto-switching, because there are so many "always on" devices. With this I have created much more stable connections that seem to handle the HDCP handshake better.

There are still some issues with switching apps like I've characterized in this post, but I am finding performance different based on each device, with the Chromecast w/ Google TV being the worst performer. Roku Ultra is rock solid.

I went through a few before I found one that worked well. I ended up keeping this one:

yes comes with a remote that you can use to switch with. see it linked here.

I know a bit off topic but I am having trouble with my connection. I am trying to see if you think setting it to -1 or -2 would help my situation below?

Having new video troubles with my Xbox series X and Playstation 5 using OLED B7A and Vizio Atmos Soundbar - Vizio SB36514-G6

So all of my devices go to an HDMI Switcher and then to the HDMI-IN on the Vizio sound bar. And then from the HDMI-ARC on the Vizio to the HDMI 2 (Arc Port) of my LG OLED B7A.

I did this in the end because it solved the problem I was having of my Xbox Series X not connecting to Atmos. That works now perfectly. The Xbox Series X was having no problems.

But a new problem came up yesterday when I setup my new Playstation 5. For some reason the Playstation 5 started with a black screen but audio worked perfectly. I switched my HDMI switcher to the XBX…When I went to the Xbox Series X I was shown a big RED SCREEN on my TV. But again, I could hear the Xbox Series X perfectly.

As soon as I unplugged the HDMI or turned off the Xbox Series X from the HDMI Switcher, the Playstation 5 started working perfectly showed Video finally.

My thought process right now is that the HDMI switcher cannot handle both consoles at the same time plugged into it….but that makes no sense if they work perfectly when one or the other is not plugged into the HDMI switcher.

Once I unplug/take HDMI of the PS5 or XBX out of the switcher, the other works perfectly…

Any ideas? Thank you!

It is on Bitstream out. Atmos and dolby connects but it lags/delays which ruins the experience. Stereo uncompressed and Dolby Digital Surround does audio perfectly though.

Any ideas on what to do to solve this problem and not delay Dolby Atmos? I want it to work as intended.
