Connect tower to the tv

[TheLostSwede]

Are you going to give me your choice as I am hopeless.

No, sorry, I never do that, as I have had very bad luck in terms of giving people specific buying advice and then they come back and blame me.

Just have to use the correct (ARC) HDMI port for sound. The PC will connect into any other HDMI port. The TV sends the signal back to the sound bar as well as power switching. Sound bar and TV have to support ARC

Doesn't look like an issue.

I fully understand I am almost sure it will be the xh95 s it was released this year, the setup here is the sky q, Sony blue ray player and the Xbox one s all plug into the sound bar and then a single cable goes to the tv.

But the soundbar you listed only has one HDMI port, so that would be impossible unless you mixed up the model...

Right, that's different from the previous one you linked to.
It's not clear if it does anything more than 4k60p over HDMI.
However, as it has HDMI ARC, you simply connect that port to the HDMI ARC port on the TV and connect your 4k60p devices to the TV, problem solved, as the audio will then use the ARC channel from the TV to the soundbar.
Edit: It might be HDMI 2.0, based on a review comment on Amazon, but I'm not sure. Sony really sucks at publishing real specs.
Edit 2: Ah, here we go, it seems like it's 1.4b as it can only do: YCbCr 4:2:0/Supports 8-bit only at 4k, which is good enough for TV use, but not computer use at 4k, since text will be blurry. Should be fine for PC gaming though. That said, using the HDMI ARC makes more sense and then using the inputs on the TV, as they won't limit you like this.
Edit 3: Turns out it wasn't that simple either. Sony really are playing some serious games here. Only two ports can do 4k60p and one of those is the ARC port...
HDMI IN 2/3 only. To support 18 Gbps, set [HDMI signal format] to [Enhanced format].

I think you missed his point about him having all his devices connected to the soundbar and that then connected to the TV. He linked to the wrong soundbar initially, hence the confusion. I know how ARC works.

Ordering today the xh95

It should at least be all HDMI 2.0, so 4k60p, as long as you read the manual and set it up properly.

I already told you that from this years Sony models you're better off with XH9005 not the XH95.
95 is suppose to be step up model but has worse SOC than the XH9005 and does not and will not support hdmi 2.1.

Okay ordering the XH9005 now at least I will save some money
