How many HDMI inputs does this sound bar have, if any? I want to do HDMI switching from the soundbar remote. Possible?

As others have said...no HDMI. I just plug all my devices straight to the TV, then run a single cable (either analog or optical) from the TV to the soundbar and let the TV take care of the switching.

The HDMI cable has an input on back straight into the sound bar and there is an output HDMI jack that feeds from the soundbar back to the TV using another HDMI cable. There is also audio cable included that can feed audio from the tv to an auxillary input on the back of the soundbar. I hooked up a Wii game system also, that has Netflex using the audio cable for sound from the tv to the soundbar. You have to switch the soundbar from HDMI to auxillary when I use the audio cables for the Wii, and it works great. I don't believe that the non-HDMI input audio can be sent through an HDMI output, you would have to use the audio cables into the auxillary I believe.

There is 3 hdmi inputs and one hdmi out (that goes to the tv) so you just plug them all into the bar and you can switch between input via the remote or the button on the bar. I have a chrome cast, xbox, and u verse all plugged into mine. The best thing to do is get a good universal remote with learning capabilities so you can have ONE remote do it all instead of 4

This switcher has 3 inputs and 1 output. Your TiVo and DVD player get plugged into two of the input spots and your sound bar gets connected to the output. You will need 3 separate optical cables

it does not. It has two inputs, a optical digital cable and a headphone sized 1/8th jack. I bought a very inexpensive bluetooth receiver from amazon and plugged it into 1/8' jack on the soundbar for music from iPhone and iPads...all the rest of the devices (blu-ray player, Apple TV, Direct TV DVR) that go into TV via HDMI are pushed out of TV and into soundbar via the optical cable (included) I think this is a much better idea than making the soundbar a HDMI switch of sorts. I see the optical out on all the flat screens around these days by the way...this soundbar sounds great, it replaced a large 5.1 system that didnt work in new family room.

this is an awkwardly worded questions so I will try to answer it in parts. This device connects to any standard 3.5mm audio jack, which the back of your TV should have, as well as be in the back of the source of your sound bar. There is no HDMI cable to connect to this device. My advice, do not replace the HDMI cable from the TV to the sound bar, because you will lose so much audio quality. Instead, what I do is leave the Soundbar system plugged in with HDMI, but turned low/off for my sleeping baby, and I also play the TV sounds through this device connected to my AptX-enabled bluetooth wireless headphones (these are cheap and very simple to use = http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IBCRZ3Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), and play as loud as I want.

Have you looked for a splitter? I just bought this sound bar. I had a similar issue as the only output from the sound bar is a 3.5 mm headphone jack type cord. I searched on Amazon and found a splitter.....3.55 mm to RCA cable....look for a splitter.... I hope this helps.......Steve

In the back all jacks are inputs, you have a HDMI for video and audio, but it is an input. You need and digital output for your soundbar. hope this help you.

I do not have that problem on my system. You do have to change the setting on the receiver with the remote to match the HDMI input you selected. If your doing that and your not getting sound and your speaker setting is correct then you might have a problem with the HDMI ports.

I really don't know how the sound bar is connected. I used my pigtail to connect a DVD recorder and a Blu Ray player to the same HDMI jack. It works fine that way. Of course, I can only use one at a time--either the Blu Ray player or the Recorder/player.

You can use the two outputs exactly as you described, run one HDMI output to your TV and the other HDMI to your sound-bar by selecting the same input for both outputs.

It has 4 HDMI inputs, one HDMI output. HDMI carries both video and audio. It also has line-in RCA type audio jacks, plus optical audio in. My cable box, my BluRay, my Apple TV connect via HDMI for both video and audio. My HDTV connects to the HDMI out. I connect my CD player via RCA jacks. I also have a turntable connected, but had to place an external phono pre-amp ($15) between it and the receiver, also connected via RCA jacks. Hope this helps. I like the receiver, great product for a great price.

It depends upon your TV model, and whether it has multiple inputs and sound out. That is how I have it set up, all inputs drive with sound to TV, which has Sound Out to the soundbar. Sounds great!

Nancy B., The UN60F6300 has 4 HDMI inputs, a Composite/Component input, and 3 USB inputs. There are also both analog and digital audio outputs for an audio bar, home theater system or receiver. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

You can either connect the PS4 to the soundbar, and connect the soundbar to the TV (use it as a combined audio/video switcher), or you can connect your TV's audio out (ideally optical) to the soundbar and leave the PS4 connected to the TV. I use the second option because I have more than two devices going to the TV, but it's less convenient because you have to switch the audio separately when you change inputs.

Jim, i have this unit and hdmi is finicky so i couldn't get it to work. So no big loss. Instead, use fiber optic audio output of tv to feed optical input of soundbar and all will be good.Regards,Greg
