Hi!
I am looking to buy a Sony HT-ZF9 3.1 soundbar to go with my KD65-AF9 TV; I have a Sony Blue Ray player, a sky Q box and a couple of games machines (Xbox1 & Switch). How do you wire these up to get the best from all? The soundbar only has 2 HDMI inputs...?

Hi
The recommended connection method would be to use as many of the TV's HDMI ports for your external devices as possible:
Sound bar - HDMI 3 ARC
SkyQ/BD player/ Xbox 1 - HDMI 1/2/4 on TV
Switch - HDMI 1 or 2 (on the Sound bar)
This will leave you with 1 free port on the Sound bar too.

Hi @Johnzoid I have Sky Q on 1 and Apple 4K TV on 2. You should use both so you have three Enhanced ports together with HDMI2 on your TV.

Thank you Win_88,
Yeah, after I posted the question I realised the HDM3 ARC might be the way to go.
I wondered, though, whether there was any advantage to using the 2 HDMI ports on the soundbar as a priority over the TV HDMI Ports? Audio lip sinking can be a problem and so it would be good to know if anyone had any recommendations?
Thanks again for responding, I will follow that advice...!
