Can anyone confirm whether you can use an HDMI switch to connect multiple devices to the HDMI input of this soundbar? Sony support says this is not possible because the soundbar is not an amplifier. I would have to buy an additional Atmos amplifier to be able to connect multiple devices. Sounds illogical to me. How does the soundbar know that there is a switch between it and the device (if it is an 8k@60Hz or 4k@120Hz switch)? I use a Sony projector that only has two HDMI inputs, so eARC via TV is not an option for me.
Hi Deathproof,
unfortunately we cannot guarantee this. The soundbar has (HDMI™(ARC), optical audio output, USB type A). You can find more information about the device on our website.

I'm using it with a Sanyo smart TV and I'm not overly thrilled, but for my purposes it's good enough. The HDMI connection isn't very reliable or accurate, and there's too much playing around, so I just use the optical connection and the remote control.
The device supports HDMI Arc. This means that all devices that support this, which pretty much everyone has done for years, recognise each other and can connect to each other and be controlled together. For example, we have a Polaroid TV, an Apple TV4K box and this soundbar. SB and Apple TV are each connected to the TV, but not to each other. And all 3 devices recognise each other, wake up together, go into standby together and can control each other. For example, the TV remote control also works with the AppleTV. Hope that helps (otherwise google HDMI Arc ;) )
