Hi 

 

I just bought the JMGO N1S 4k and it only has 1 earc HDMI

Any idea on how I connect this to Apple TV and Playbar

Would a HDMI extractor work which is split to hdmi for apple tv and an optical cable to playbar?

Thanks!

Yes, the HDMI switch would work. The PLAYBAR’s optical port will only handle Dolby Digital, not Atmos, so you’ll probably want to go in to the audio settings for the Apple TV and lock it down to Dolby Digital, and not anything ‘higher’.

Can't help other than to suggest the forum search as this topic has come up before.
