Need to pick some brains!! - Blu-ray Forum

I have a PS4 and a new Samsung 60" KS 8000 series TV and want to get HDR to my TV, but my current receiver does not pass through 4k/HDR content. Any one have any luck with HDMI splitters so I can run one line to the TV and the other to the receiver to maintain maximum picture quality and audio??

On my PS3, I have both an HDMI out and an optical audio out.

I had a similar issue and piped my video to my TV via HDMI and my audio via optical to my receiver.

Don't know if the PS4 has an optical out though.

You'll be covered on the UHD Blu-ray Player front anyway. The Samsung UBD-K8500 3D Wi-Fi 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Player offers 2 HDMI outputs.

I don't think the PS4 slim has an optical audio output, just HDMI.

A splitter should be fine if you do have a optical output as you won't get high definition audio through the optical output (it's fine for games). I think all the standalone players have 2 HDMI outputs, so you shouldn't run into any issues.

try this between your PS4 output and your TV & Receiver inputs.
