It should work, but why would you want to hook it up this way? Seemingly (at least in most cases I can think of), the more logical route is to plug all sources into the receiver, run an hdmi out from receiver to the sync box in, then hdmi out from sync box to TV. What advantage are you hoping to gain by using the sync box as the 'hdmi switching' mechanism?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It comes with one HDMI cable to use on your primary device. You will need individual HDMI cables to swap with other devices you may be using.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It absolutely should.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't see why it wouldn't. The sync box is just decoding the input and sending that info to the lights.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes but there is a better way to hook it up if you want Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support. Basically you want to use your devices in a way to send just 1 HDMI to your sync box so the sync box does nothing but the lighting. You want the actual picture signal to go to your TV and or your receiver if they both support Dolby Vision and HDR10+ this way you will bypass the sync boxes filtering out your HDR10+ signal. Hopefully, Phillips will fix the issues I outlined in my review. This product is not ready for prime time yet, meaning it does not work as intended. Almost all movies are letterbox and this box does not know what to do with the black bars at the top and bottom yet and it may never get an update that fixes these issues which means you spent a lot of money for lights to turn off completely when you watch a movie.
