HDMI Switcher With ARC And 4K60Hz Support | OREI UHD 402 

What do you think about this 4K UHD switcher? UHD 402 for 2 displays geni.us/NNtJ UHD 401for 1 display geni.us/lY5meAt

You are simply the best, when it comes to giving tutorials.

This video is so helpful! I was looking for some tutorial for this for setting up two monitors for all my devices and you solved it man!!!

Thanks for the coverage in this video, Steve.

Another benefit of these type of devices is that if you are using streaming sticks like Roku or Amazon you don’t have to plug the stick directly end of the TV. The weight of those sticks can eventually mess up the HDMI connection on the TV. By plugging your streaming sticks into these devices like you described here and then you just have one HDMI cable running to your TV. It is better for the health of your TV long-term.

I just bought a Tu700D and after getting home realized new 75" TV did not have as many HDMI ports as my old unit. I failed to check it before I purchased. This little black box will help me with what I needed. Your video was helpful so thanks.

Your a lifesaver. appreciate you showing all the different configuration

Hey, I'm astounded by your white board schematic. Very good stuff and, mirroring it in the real world with the peripherals laid out neatly on the table? You rock, my friend!

Awesome, Steve! Enjoyed this video and others and your channel, just subscribed! Thanks and God Bless! 🙂😀❤️🙏✝️👍🏻

I once needed this and didn’t know that it even existed until today, I had to buy a new TV to overcome this.

Thank you for an excellent explanation of just what I was looking for! Huge help!!

Respect... detailed and straight forward Thank you

Thank you, you just saved me a lot of money. I didn't know the difference between a switcher and a splitter. I have that exact TV you have on your video. So now I know I have to buy a switcher to connect all my games, soundbar, and direct TV Thank you very much I appreciate it.

Incredibly helpful content, thanks!

This is really cool. I have a "dumb" hdmi switch that can't do arc and input at the same time. Didn't know boxes like this exist. Thanks for the great videos!

This was very helpful thank you

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Thanks so much, I plan to get this switcher!!!

Thanks for the breakdown.

Super informative!! Thank you!

Thank you so much Steve!!!

1st time viewer..very nice style of presentation❤❤….good work 👍

Great video! Very clear and concise.

Nice switch. Just ordered this switch to replace my multiviewer I’m currently using. The arc feature sold me.

Ok I’m a new subscriber as of today. I’m so glad that i ran across this video today. I had already ordered a different brand today. I wasn’t completely sold on if it would take care of my audio needs. First of all I couldn’t find a pdf manual describing the different hdmi arc selection available. So I immediately cancelled my order in time. I’m pretty sure that the one that i almost bought only had one selection for arc. So I kept looking and ran across your video describing exactly what i needed. My need was to connect to my soundbar and have my other devices play through my soundbar. My tv is the Q60T 70inch 4K. My soundbar is the Q60T . So I’m extremely happy for watching your excellent video. Your personal time and expertise is greatly appreciated!!!! Ps. Oh yeah I ordered this Orei 402 from Amazon this evening. It was $50 bucks and will arrive by Wednesday next week. Keep up the good work young man. Solid!!!!

Excellent superior content as always

Thank you so much! I'm up and running. Switchbox works great.

Another great Video Steve you deserve to be up on the top off this game your down to earth and explain everything keep it take care out there JJ across the pond London

Thank you so much for this keep up the good work.

Hello Steve, Great video. I have an LG TV with 2 ports. Notice when switching back to the ATT cable box and selecting volume control, using the att remote. There seems to be 2 to 3 sec delay, when I try to increase the volume. My vizo sound bar, sounds great. Don't have the delay if I remove the switch.

thanks, great video!

Thanks man I saw this video about a few months ago saved me from buying a new tv

Very very VERY good use of the whiteboard!

Great video Steve.

Thank you !

My pc only has 1 hdmi port to my monitor. I'm trying to connect a drawing pad aswell. This was useful. I was trying to use one monitor for drawing and another to old my pens.

top review again how good are you im getting a samsung q60a tv due to your review then i was thinking about hdmi connections and you popped up again you seem to have my mind lol thankyou your brilliant

This is exactly the video I was looking for. Coincidence that I wanted to know how this works with my Bose Soundbar. Also coincidence that I play DOA 6 a LOT

Steve is a tech god thanks sir for the diagram!

Thanks Steve for this. I have been wondering how can I use multiple audio sources with a single eARC port soundbar and TV without having to turn the TV on to listen to just music through the soundbar. This seems to be a great solution - as it has two eARC ports

Thanks Tech Steve .

Awesome Video Steve! I own a SONY DA3200ES receiver and a Sharp Aquos LC-60EQ10U TV. My goal was to use a 5 port HDMI switch to patch all my devices through my receiver and then onto the tv. However I believe I may not have the right type of Switch as it only has a single output port. I believe I would require a switch that has an input as well as an output port plus ports for the devices. Is there a switch to make this possible or a better way to achieve this. Thanks Steve.

Cant wait for these to get to 2.1. Is that hard for 2021 TVs to have 4 inputs. wow. GREAT VIDEO

Ight kool thanks

Great video! This product doesn't solve all of my problems.I'm looking for this exact same type of product, but I need 8 hdmi inputs for 1 tv instead of just 4. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi and thanks Steve. Will it fix CEC handshake issues?

Thanks for a great video. If I set up three or four devices to my box, how do I control tv? I am a little slow in figuring it out.

Super useful video, I have a 2021 Samsung TV with the Samsung Q60T soundbar and I also have a PS4, obviously, I'm already out of HDMI ports since my cable box and my PS4 use both HDMI ports, and these TV'S only have 2, which is super trash. I'm getting a PS5 next month and I'm already upset by having to use my soundbar with Bluetooth, and since the TV is huge, changing cables is not an option for me, this video will help me like you have no idea, because from what I understand my Samsung TV is pretty much the same as the one you showed but bigger, so it should work. I subscribed to your channel thank you so much!

Great video.

Do these switchers support Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision passthrough as well? I'm looking at getting a device like this that I can run my PS4, Blu-ray Player, Nintendo Switch, and soundbar to my AWOL Vision projector (4K, 3D, Atmos and DV). Thanks! EDIT: I just found the OREI UHDS-401A on their website. Is this a good fit for what I was mentioning? Thanks so much

Any chance you can test this with the Next Gen Xbox, output to a 1440p/1080p 120hz(up) monitor? Maybe test the latency and if has some effects to the fps. Thanks. I’m in shop for a switcher that I can use to connect my Xbox to my tv and also my monitor.

Excellent video and on point. Not what I wanted to hear, but what I'm thinking probably does not exist. I have a series 7 one hdmi port short. Using Arc so I can control all devices from my tv. Easier for the house. I have a Denon 4600x h and I wanted to add my fire stick to the tv for aan icon on the tv. Well cant do it. So firestick gets connected to the denon direct. Oh well maybe 8 more years of advancement in tech. All in all well done, subscribed and looking forward to more videos.

I just purchased the Cinema II and will be connecting it to my Nebula Cosmos Max 4k projector and will also be using my Firestick 4k through the projector as well. How do i connect all of this via HDMI? I also have optical audio cable as well.

Good stuff Steve

Hey Steve, thank you for the video. If my PC is one of the inputs and the outputs are connected to two separate projectors - will the PC recognize the 2 outputs as 2 individual display outputs?

Great vid. Just have a quick question. If i have a project & a LG OLED TV and wanted to output to a sound bar, can i use this device to achieve this?

Good explanation! Question, can I do the same thing, but connected to an HP monitor? I want to do the same thing of having several devices connected and have the audio output through the sound bar, but connected to a monitor (without eARC)

hello. how would this work with 2 displays and a soundbar? which display would take control of the soundbar? and where would the audio from the 2nd display come from? thanks in advance. just working on a set up for myself.

I don't need another remote to keep up with. Well it work with LG's s magic remote?

THANK YOU!!! IM SO ENLIGHTENED WHAT A RELIEF! The good thing is we have the same model of 4K TV plugged in JBL 5.1 Surround via HDMI ARC. The problem is I have also a desktop PC. How can I connect my PC to Samsung TV and on my JBL 5.1?

can you recommend an alternative? This is no longer available at amazon with no statement as to when it will return. thanks.

Hi Steve, thanks for this. It seems like this would be a great device for me, but I just have one question. Does this support HDR as well? I know it supports 4K/60Hz but I was planning on using it for my PS5/Xbox One X in my setup

Tech Steve quick question - In My mancave I have a projector and a TV - system wise I am using SONOs I have a Beam and some other SONOs speakers around the room. Currently I have my beam hooked into the ARC on my projector; however, i want the option of the SONOs when I turn the TV on is there a HDMI splitter that I can use to connect both to the Beam that will give me the flexibility no matter what device I turn on. Let me finish with this I only look at one (TV, Projector) at a time, when I drop my 100 inch screen it blocks the TV. What suggestions do you have to make this happen Best Buy is no help. thanks

Would i be able to plus an ARC soundbar into an Input and video working on both outputs?

Would love for you to do one on an HDMI matrix.

Question. I have both the Xbox and PlayStation new gens, I was connecting the HDMI cables manually for awhile and decided to get a HDMI switcher. I’m currently using a sound card for the PlayStation and a chat Splitter for the Xbox to get audio, but I just now received my audio extractor for the optical. My question is do I place it after the switcher or before? I’m currently using a Elgato 4K60 Pro MK.2 also. Thanks

Where can I find this item, I went on amazon and it's available and not sure when it will be restocked. Did they stop making it? If this is the case, can you recommend another one that's on the same level (with arc)

Hi @Tech Steve, I have similar switch, I have issues with getting sound from speakers connected to AVR receiver for different sources. My TV ARC hdmi port is connected to the OUT port of the switch. HDMI OUT port from the receiver goes into input 1 from the switch. (this is the only difference from Bose TV Speaker, which is IN) MY CABLE TV goes into input 2 from the switch etc... ARC is set to ON in AVR setup menu and TV audio setting is set to HDMI sound system (which detects ARC active). Any suggestion from your side?

BIG QUESTION THAT A LOT OF SAMSUNG 4K screen users have! Samsung tv models after 2018 doenst support DTS-x or other DTS codecs on the tvs so when you hook up your xbox one x or series x on the HDMI port it only supports Dolby Atmos. I have a Denon AVR-x2600H receiver hooked up but his doenst support Vrr and that very importand with gaming/ Can one of your settups be used to set 1 hdmi kable to hdmi tv and one to receiver so i can get DTSX via receiver and get RVV HDR to my port of the tv?

Steve I like how you explain content! I am new and I just subbed to your channel sir :). Now I am a 2020 Samsung QLED owner. I have one HDMI 2.1 port but would love a switcher like this for 2.1. Would you be able to know of any HDMI 2.1 splitters at 120hz?

Arc switch is pretty helpful

So the pass-through to the TV and soundbar will only work if the device has 2 ARC ports on it, right?

Hi Tech Steve, I have the same Samsung tv you have here. I noticed whenever you would switch Game Mode would turn off. Does the Samsung Game Mode work with this device?

I bought the UHD 401 and the only problem I have is that I have to manually change the output from tv speaker to my sound bar. When I had my soundbar connected straight into my tv's hdmi arc port it would automatically use the sound bar. Is there a way to do this while using the UHD 401? Currently, I have the soundbar connected to the hdmi arc input on the UHD 401. Then I have the UHD 401 connected to the hdmi arc input on my Samsung tv. My soundbar is samsung as well.

Hey steve. Does it support hdr dts x and dolby atmos? I have a tv and projector. I have 3 consoles. And a soundbar in between. My current ugreen hdmi selector doesnt support hdr. And it's abit wonky doesnt detect 4k at times

Great stuff! I was wondering do you have any recommendations for HDMI 2.1. I'm looking for a HDMI 2.1 switch. I only have 1 HDMI 2.1 port on my TV and I want to connect my Xbox and PS5.

How does this device with a definitive technology W soundbar? I am having issue withe arc

I have a sound bar that has and arc out and not arc in. What do I do? I have my set up the same as the second demonstration and it’s not working.

Samsung 7u 7000 que tengo tiene earc no arc sirve igual para conectar audio HDMI?

Well here is my non tech savvy question...I bought a 3 port switch. I have a Samsung TV with 2 ports (1 arc), a Samsung sound bar with 1arc and 1 regular. The problem is the connection to the arris cable box from spectrum. It doesn't seem to read it. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have a sound bar and surround sound receiver. I stream over the tv app hulu and want the option to switch between the soundbar and receiver. How?

Hey man , cool videos , and what if I want to use my Apple TV (2021) in HDMI 2.1, but also want to use my Bose smart sound bar 300 in order to have better audio experience?

If I want to use a projector (or tv) WITHOUT ARC, will the switcher send audio to my HDMI home theater (or sound bar)?

Can you use this on 3 led tvs and view different chart on trading force

Nice video. There is some way to change the source directly from the remote of the TV instead of that little remote of the switcher?

Awesome video Steve.!!

When I connected my new Samsung sound bar B550.. to this converter, there was no sound coming out of my DVD player which is also connected to this converter, can you please tell me why it does not work? Thanks

Hey Steve, thanks for this! I have a question, i have two monitors and i would like to connect both to a PS5 and a PC. Is it possible to have a setup where i can game on the PS5 and watch videos on the PC using the same speaker set?

Love your review and clean setup! I normally avoid Amazon links to buy, but with your great video, it would have been the first! Unfortunately, I'm looking for a less expensive unit at this point. I plan on checking out your other videos!

Steve can I use this to connect a Samsung m4500 to a 2010 Samsung CS600?

How do you connect it if you have direct TV cable box?????

Do all the hdmi do 4K or is it just the front one

I need an HDMI splitter that will stop my Soundbar from making popping sounds. Im using an HDMI splitter right now connected to my tv. im connecting my soundbar to the hdmi splitter as i have no more hmdi spots for the soundbar on the tv. The soundbar works but makes popping sounds every few minutes, very annoying. Im not sure what else to do though because the other 2 HMDI ports on my TV are needed, the soundbar has to use the spliiter. I've tried high quality HDMI cables and still hasnt fixed. Does a soundbar only work if connected to a TV Hdmi? i can never use a splitter with a soundbar? im screwed I think.....

Can you turn on the tv with the google chrome tv remote?

Arc supported tv is necessary for this features to work right? I mean for the audio setup - one speaker for all?

Can you connect two of these to one tv if you need more hdmi ports? What cable can be used to hook up two hdmi switch to a tv with one hdmi input?

So are all the Xbox ps4 amazon cube and google tv all 4K compatible with the tv after you put them into the switcher. Like the Xbox you had hooked up was 4K comparable

Yea i bought the 7 series samsung got ps5 and series x to ports now would like to use arc and cant im wondering if the adaptor will make you loss any quality visuals at all

How do you use a receiver with this item?

Will this allow Dolby Atmos pass threw
