iArkPower 3 Port HDMI Switch with Optical Toslink SPDIF & RCA L/R Audio Out, 3x1 HDMI Audio Extractor Splitter with Remote, Supports 4Kx2K@30Hz, Full 3D, 1080P, ARC

My components were not compatible as they were. JVC 5.1 surround sound amp but optical, an HD satellite receiver with HDMI, an HD projector with HDMI. Worked seamlessly, easy to setup, and good support. Good price.

I don't usually write reviews but felt I should for this one because for stuff like this, you're never really sure if something is going to be promising enough. I was doing research on different HDMI switch boxes and eventually decided on this one. Seemed to have the least amount of issues if any at all and seemed to work with mostly everything. It's currently just hooked up from the Roku to the TV and audio being sent to a BOSE receiver via the RCA cables from the HDMI Switch. So far, everything seems to work smoothly with no issues with the remote at all. The picture on the TV looks just the same as it did before and no loss of audio at all. The HDMI Switch outputs the audio to the BOSE receiver just fine and sounds perfect!!! It's a pretty simple setup, but gets the job done with no complaints so far. Also the lights on the box aren't overly bright. I especially appreciate that they didn't use any blue lights on the box because blue lights on these kind of things are always the worst. I also love that it's not too big either so that it doesn't take up too much space within your setup. Overall, I would highly recommend this switch because so far, it seems to work flawlessly with no loss of quality in audio/video anywhere along the way. If you've been doing research like me and you're now reading this review, stop waiting and buy this one. I'm very cautious when buying stuff like this because even at this price, you still don't want to be just throwing your money away or having to take time to get your money back from a defective product and doing a return. Go ahead and buy this switch now!

It worked perfect for the need I had to get fiber sound out from tv and easy to do.

I tried two cheaper switch/audio extractors prior to this one and they failed, despite their promise, to extract audio from an Amazon Fire TV Stick. This iArk actually does work as advertised. It flawlessly extracts audio from a Terk DVR and a Fire TV in analog audio or TOSLink to my older Onkyo home theater receiver.The iArk physical layout is very good in that the connections are all on the back, and the switches and indicators are all on the front. The labeling of the front indicators is a bit hard to see and correlate, but you can make it out if you try. The remote control seems powerful enough to work at 15 feet distance if you aim well. The instruction sheet has some of the typical poor English but is still better than many.I rated this 4 stars but it probably deserved 4.5 The only glitch is that with certain menu operations being performed on the Terk DVR, apparently the iArk output signal is briefly interrupted and my projector starts researching for an input signal. Operating with Fire TV has been flawless.Having tried two poorly designed boxes first made me appreciate the superior design of the iArk HDMI switch/audio extractor.

While there is a bit of a learning curve because of all the settings available on this device, I could not be happier with the results! It had allowed me to integrate all my older equipment with the newest fangle gadgets available today! I hooked up everything when the box arrived and... Nothing worked... Haha it was my fault as I hurried to get it all connected. I made several mistakes which cost me a lot of time.There are several settings on this Box that you must understand in order to get it working properly however once you understand the settings, it's very easy to hook everything up properly and the quality of the picture is OUTSTANDING!I am in love with my 65in HD TV again! I connected my ATT cable box, my 5.1 surround sound stereo, the Roku, the Xbox and Google Chrome TV stick AND, my Bluray DVD player all through an additional powered HD switch box.The picture as stated is PERFECT AMAZING HD!I am truly amazed how great the picture is now, comparatively speaking! Because I wasn't able to get audio through all of the devices through a switch Box to work properly,I was able to run all the audio, through this box and it works great!Solved all of my HDMI cable, RCA and Digital Fiber Optic cable sound issues! LOVE this box!Worth every damn penny and solved most, if not all of my audio connection issues in one way or another!5 stars and well deserved! Occasionly if one of the hardware boxes or TV, "times out", from sitting unused for to long, it takes a little monkying and switching, to get the sound back but eventually with enough messing around I figured out in a minute or 2. Just FYI.It's not the box. It's the video component which is the culprit generally. Switching from one component to another and then back to the original one you're trying to get working usually fixes the audio problem... if you're going directly out to a television or surround stereo system I mean.Again, this box works great but you do have to know which connections to use with which equipment. If it doesnt work, try a different type of connector if possible. Love this box! Its fantastic!
