Product Features:

• This UHDe4X1 HDMI 2.0 4K@60Hz HDR Dolby Vision Switch is made to work with the latest generation HDMI sound bar and receiver with an eARC or ARC HDMI port. The package includes the UHDe4X1 switch, 100V-240V AC to 5V DC power adapter with US plug, IR remote, and user manual.
• UHDe4X1 has 4 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output; the HDMI input #1 should be connected to the HDMI eARC port of the sound bar or receiver for eARC audio application. Connect the HDMI source, such as a Blu-ray player to the HDMI input 2/3/4 of this switch. The HDMI audio signal from the selected HDMI input source can be extracted and sent to the eARC HDMI port of a sound bar or receiver from the HDMI input #1 port. Make sure to use the "Auto" setting for the audio EDID selection.
• If the HDMI output is connected to the ARC / eARC port of the TV, then the TV can send ARC audio to the ARC or eARC port of the sound bar or receiver connected to HDMI input #1, when the eARC mode is enabled. When the audio signal is from the TV, make sure to select input 1 of the switch. Make sure to enable CEC and ARC mode on the TV for the TV's eARC application. Enable the eARC mode and select the desired input source (2/3/4) to extract HDMI audio for the sound bar or receiver.
• The TV doesn't need to have an ARC or eARC port to use this model. If the TV has an ARC or eARC port, to use the TV's ARC function, just select input #1 and enable eARC mode, for the TV to send ARC audio. 
• eARC is backward compatible with ARC, so this model also supports ARC HDMI ports. When the eARC mode is not used / disabled, this switch can be used as a regular 4x1 switch; when the eARC mode is enabled, this switch can only be used as a 3x1 switch, because input #1 needs to be connected to the eARC port of the soundbar/receiver. The eARC audio extractor does not support the regular HDMI input of a sound bar, it must use the eARC HDMI port for audio extraction application.

Please do not purchase this item, unless your soundbar has an eARC HDMI port or an HDMI receiver with an eARC port. If you are looking for an HDMI switch or audio extractor to support your soundbar or receiver which has an HDMI ARC or eARC port, then it is the right item for your application. This UHDe4X1 model has 4 HDMI inputs and one HDMI output. The HDMI input #1 is specially designed to be connected to the HDMI eARC port of a soundbar or HDMI receiver so that the extracted audio from an HDMI source at one of the selected inputs of this switch or ARC audio from the TV can be fed to the eARC HDMI port of the soundbar or HDMI receiver for ARC / eARC application. When the HDMI input #1 is connected to the eARC HDMI port of a soundbar or HDMI receiver, just turn on the eARC mode, send the audio EDID selection to "Auto", then the soundbar/receiver will have eARC audio; this model can be used as a 3x1 HDMI switch. When the eARC mode is off, this switch can be used as a regular 4x1 HDMI switch. Please do not purchase this item to use it as a 4x1 switch, because it doesn't make economic sense. This unit is made to work with an eARC HDMI soundbar and receivers. Please contact the seller for technical support when needed. This item is exactly as described, with no pending issues.
