I want to use my splitter to connect, my ps3, uverse reciever, and blu ray player. to my sony surround sound reciever, for surround sound?

You cannot use this for that purpose; this is an "HDMI splitter", which was built to take one HDMI source and output that to a maximum of 4 HDTV's (like in a sports bar). Because what you want is surround sound from all three devices (and without knowing the type of receiver you have) your options are: - If your Receiver has only one or two HDMI inputs - you will need to add a "HDMI Switch", to accommodate all three devices. - If your Receiver has no HDMI inputs - it is better to get a new Receiver with atleast 3 HDMI inputs. - If your Receiver has three or more HDMI inputs - you are fine, just connect your devices to the Receiver. I hope this helps....

One problem with using the TV as the switcher, i.e. all hdmi devices plug into the Tv and then the Tv's optical out goes to receiver, is that when you watch blu-ray movies on your PS3 and they are DTS 5.1/DTS HD MA tracks, your PS3 will not be able to send DTS 5.1 to your TV. TVs can do DD 5.1, but not DTS 5.1. So even if you bitstream form the blu-ray, the PS3 is going to send 2 channel audio. therefore it is better to hook up the PS3's optical out to the receiver directly. That way on blu-ray's that have only DTS audio, you're not stuck with two channel audio.

You can connect your sound bar to your p3 of 4...it connects via digital optical cable...but it's better to connect your ps3 to your TV via hdmi and your sound bar to you tv as well via the optical cable

probably not unless your surround sound system uses ethernet. Depending on your system, you may want an Optical cable, or HDMI

It sounds like this splitter would be perfect for your needs. As far as I'm concerned, this is an HDMI splitter!

If the cable box and DVD player have Optical Audio outputs, then yes you can. I have 2 game consoles with that output that connect with this splitter and then run to the soundbar. You need to make sure that both devices aren't sending a signal at the same time though. Otherwise your sound will come out distorted and garbled. You can tell this by connecting an optical audio cable to the devices and looking for a red light in the end of the cable.

First question, why would you want to split the signal from your box in that way? It would be better to run it direct from the box to the amp (i'm assuming its a receiver) to the tv so you are always using the speakers you paid for.Secondly, I have mine splitting my cable box (DISH) signal to my Xbox One and my Receiver (to take advantage of the Xbox one's "watch tv" functionality but still have the flexibility to use only the TV/receiver combo). I have had no problems with video or audio issues. This should do just what you need it to.

Should work fine if your receiver has A and B speaker outputs. I have this splitter hooked up on the B set of speakers on my Kenwood receiver, and then split two pair of speakers outside.

Actually your tv can only give stereo out, so you would get better sound hooking the ps3 to the receiver via optical input and the tv to the receiver with composite.....

I have connected to my surround sound receiver, then have connected my directv, ps3, and wii to 3 of the 8 ports. With a push of a button, I can switch any of them to the surround sound. I would imagine anything else I connected to it would work as well. So I dont see why a cd player or tape deck wouldnt work the same.

Actually I'm using the optical audio output from my Sony tv to the optical input of the sound bar...not sure why it wouldn't work when using the red/white output from your tv into the soundbar...all I did was hook it up and turn my TV speaker off...make sure the blue light is lit up on the soundbar when powered up...

Works for my set up with both audio and video. Receiver output is split into two other components. Both audio and video. Must understand, with my set up, this is NOT HDTV. I never tried to split component for HDTV, so not sure if that would work. Just video and left/right audio.

There's no need for a separate audio connection with this receiver. For a nonblu ray source it will accept and process any audio signal over HDMI. For blu ray, you'll need a player that decodes the new formats and outputs PCM.

You can use one HDMI cable and also use the digital audio input on your sound bar. Most cable boxes have the output the ps3 should as well.

I have the same setup as you mentioned. I used a splitter thinking I would be achieving a fuller sound. Sounds great to me. Good luck. Bill

I tried a splitter and could never get it to work. Unsure whether it was the sound bar or one of the other components.

Yes you can or you can use a splitter and do three that's how I have it and it plays fine for me good luck with yours
