A couple of quick thoughts: Dyslexia is fun! I mistakenly said the "RS-323" phoenix connector instead of what it ACTUALLY is, which is an RS-232 phoenix connector. Apologies and I've spoken to myself about this already and I've assured myself it won't happen again. Also, when I referred to the OREI HDA-939 as "plug & play" when it comes to the eARC extraction, I meant on OREI's side. Other than plugging in the cables and tapping the SELECT button, that's all you need to do on OREI's side. No further tinkering needs to be done. So in that sense, it's pretty plug and play! And hey, if you're on the fence, the OREI HDA-939 is currently on sale at Amazon for $179 instead of the normal price of $199! Go check it out here if you're interested*: amzn.to/40bnViO. *Brad (Home Theater Gamer) is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to www.amazon.com.

for those wondering : Uncompressed has better sound quality , but anything other than stereo uncompressed needs Earc. ARC only works with stereo uncompressed ( sometimes called PCM)

On my PC, I run an HDMI out to an much older 7.1 AVR for audio and I run DisplayPort out to my display (1440p, 144Hz), this results in having a phantom display on my PC. I imagine something like this would allow me to eliminate the phantom display if it could support 1440p/144Hz over HDMI.

Great review. I bought a new receiver for 2.1 capabilities. My old avr was only a couple of years old. I might've gone this route if I had known it was an option. That's life, though. Also, are you going to be doing some more gaming subject videos in the near future? Do you have a PS5 also, or are you an Xbox guy?

@HomeTheaterGamer Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment! I've honestly been searching for something like this for a while, basically ever since I upgrade my display to an HDMI 2.1 even before the LG C1 I have now. And I definitely plan on doing more gaming-focused home theater content soon; I just currently have an influx of product reviews I need to get through first. But I do have a PS5 in addition to the Series X and plan to make videos revolving around both of those.

This is the first time that I’ve watched your video and I absolutely loved it. However, I’m going to list down at the bottom the components that I have and let me tell you what I’m looking to do. Hopefully you can point me in the right direction if not. With this unit. 2023 Samsung S95B QD-OLED w/ EARC. Sony HT-A9 w/EARC I also have a very strong Wi-Fi signal so you probably asking yourself. What do I need? I’m looking for an HDMI extractor like this that will allow me to wear $200-500 Sony or Apple headphones and somehow hook it up to my Sony 4K Blu-ray player 800M to receive 4K ultra HD HDR and True HD 5.1 or 7.1. Hell, I’d be happy with spatial audio at this point which I actually get from my Apple TV 4K. I think. Do you have any advice about connecting my TV and Home Theater system with EARC on both ends? How can I use the extractor to connect and listen to my Blu-ray Dolby Atmos disc at night time so my dog can sleep soundly next to me

Great video … I have a 720/1080p projector and a marantz that supports 1080p . Can I run this using arc .? For fire stick..a ps3 ..? .i have changed hdmi cables and i still get a lose signal once in a while. Will using one of these stop this ..? Thanks

how good the image is, 4K pass as it is through OUT 1? and how the Audio quality from the OUT 2 to the eARC of the Soundbar ?

@Chayim55 Жыл бұрын

Hi, will this device extract Dolby Atmos even if my TV 4K has only ARC, my Onkyo receiver has only HDMI with no Arc with my Xbox One X? Or do I need at least one eARC device in the chain to work? Much appreciated for your advice... Thank

does this work with tv remote to control volume when u use HDMI to Aux?

@Boxkerp Жыл бұрын

I am using a 2.1 system in my living room where I had a bluesound node connected to my integrated am to use its streaming features. I also used the HDMI arc on the node to connect my tv to my system. I had the HDMI arc port from my tv connected to the HDMI port on the node and I had the node SPDIF port connected to the SPDIF port on my integrated amp. With this setup, I was able to use HDMI CEC to control the volume of the system with the tv remote. I recently sold my node and I'm hoping that this device can let me plug my tv's HDMI arc port into the OREI HDMI port, output sound from the SPDIF to my integrated, and let me use CEC to control the volume. Do you know if that is possible with the OREI?

@4Kmichelinstarmovies 11 ай бұрын

will I still be able to use the arc output of my receiver to use all the HDMI ports which is essentially like an HDMI splitter? could I plug a HDMI to the input of the extractor but still extract the earc audio to the receiver from the orei outputs.

@bigt160 3 ай бұрын

This might be a dumb question but what are the benefits of separating the audio and video on an Apple TV? Also if I wanted to do this and also get the benefit of the eARC function I’m assuming I’d need 2 of these decoders. Or am I wrong?
