The second HDMI port is for audio output only. It's used primarily for connecting to older receivers can't pass 4k/HDR/Dolby vision. For example, the main HDMI out of the player would go to your TV so you can enjoy the best visual fidelity it supports, and the sub HDMI would go to your receiver for audio.

The instruction book with the player talks about this. The second HDMI basically only enhances the sound extensions; have to leave the primary one in. The unit delivers!!!! I have 3D capability and it is AWESOME! E.G. for a film about "space", you just don't get it without 3D (The Martian, third trilogy of Star Wars, Gravity, etc). Hope someday, the tech experts will realize that combining 2D and 3D with 4 and 5G delivers an at-home experience that is truly amazing!!!!
