Hello there! Thank you for reaching out with your question. If you're looking to connect two additional 4K sources (such as a set-top box and a Blu-ray player) to your LG S80TR sound bar, but there is only one additional HDMI input, there are a couple of ways you can make the connections: HDMI Switcher: You can use an HDMI switch that allows you to connect multiple HDMI devices to a single HDMI input on your sound bar. A 4K-compatible HDMI switch will enable you to connect both your set-top box and Blu-ray player to the switch, and then connect the switch to the HDMI input on your sound bar. Be sure to select an HDMI switch that supports 4K resolution and HDMI 2.0 or higher for full compatibility. Connect Directly to the TV: You can also connect your 4K sources (set-top box and Blu-ray player) directly to your TV using HDMI ports, and then use the HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) or eARC to send the audio from the TV to the sound bar. This way, the sound bar will still handle the audio while the video sources are connected to the TV. https://www.lg.com/us/sound-bars/lg-s80tr-sound-bar#pdp_specs Please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport, and our team will be happy to assist you further.
