Looking for ideas of how to connect multiple devices.
Summary:
Wall mounted 4K TV with an HDMI cable routed through the wall. Poor planning means room for only one HDMI cable in this conduit without disruptive work to increase space.
HDMI currently connected from ARC return channel to NON-4k receiver. PS4 PRO connected to receiver.
PS4 is noisy when playing Blu-ray so considering dedicated player so may as well purchase UHD player.
Obviously connecting through non-4K receiver will not give me the benefit of 4K/HDR on UHD player and or PS4 PRO.
Is there a way of utilising my one HDMI connection from the TV and connection my equipment to allow me to get a 4K/HDR feed to my TV and maintain the ARC connection to receiver that doesn't involve the purchase of a 4K capable receiver? I can minimise cost and I can minimise disruption, but is there a workaround that minimises both.
If the only option is to connect PS4 and UHD Blu-ray player to receiver for audio then switch HDMI cable back and forth between PS4/UHD player/receiver(for ARC) then so be it. All slightly complicated by the fact that I'm hoping to move next year and already have a LOT of work to do in the house so avoiding significant extra cost/disruption here would be useful.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
