Using both HDMI ARC and Optical

Answered
Brett Raymond

I have 2 TV's in the same room.  If I get a Pulse Soundbar+ can I connect 1 TV via HDMI eARC and the other TV via the optical port and then switch between the input sources using the app, or does plugging in the HDMI cable disable the optical port like I've seen on some other soundbars?

As a second option, If I am also getting a PowerNode to power my in-ceiling rear surrounds can I use its HDMI port for the second TV? (while grouped to the Soundbar+)

Thanks

    You can connect both TVs, but if you have AutoSense enabled under Settings, Player, Customise Sources... if both TVs are on the HDMI TV will hog the output (same for the Optical if you have Optical AutoSense enabled but HDMI  AutoSense off).

    You will have to disable both AutoSense options and manually switch in the BluOS App for the desired source...
