Connecting Apple TV to projector and sound bar

Hi,

I have a projector with 1 HDMI port and I want to connect my Apple TV and sound bar to it. What are my options?? Can I used an HMDI splitter?

I want to connect both with HDMI since Bluetooth is lagging.

Thank you,

Bose Soundbar 900 Connection to Apple TV 4K (Newest Generation) Hello, I was curious on if anyone has figured out how to set up both the soundbar and Apple TV to their tv. Bose has told me to try with 2 HDMI Cables. One connected to the Soundbar 900 and the other connected to the Apple TV. My concern is that the Apple TV needs to be connected to the ARC port. Is this true? If not, I will connect the Apple TV to a different HDMI port and the soundbar to the ARC/eARC port on the tv. Any clarification is appreciated and I hope to find some help before I set everything up and realize it doesn't actually work. Please help

Connecting an Apple 4K TV to my Roku TCL I currently have a TCL Roku TV (not 4K - I haven't upgraded yet). I have a Roku Soundbar and two rear Roku wireless speakers. My Roku soundbar and my Phillips Blu Ray player are currently connected via HDMI. I really want to upgrade to the Apple 4K TV, and use that as my interface, however I'm concerned that it only has one HDMI port. My soundbar and my Blu Ray player both need an HDMI port. Will the Apple TV box even recognize my Blu Ray Player, or would I just need to toggle back to my Roku menu when I want to access Blu Ray? Can I add an HDMI adaptor port to the Apple TV box? Any advice would be appreciated before I make the purchase?

What make & model soundbar? Projector? An HDMI splitter won’t work unfortunately.

Both support ARC so it should work. Connect as shown below and post back for issues (after troubleshooting using the Sony and Nano manuals you have).
