Hi All.
Long-time since ive trod the path of AV Forums, mainly down to children putting an end to all my elaborate spending and toys! Well, that's all about to change!
Its been around 10 years since I owned a Projector and the itch has become unbearable, so im going to pull the trigger on a TW-7400 to bring some cinema magic into the house for the kids (and myself of course). Around 2 years ago i drastically reduced my AV setup and went to a Sonos playbar, getting shot of my Yamaha amp and full 5.1 setup. This is now obviously going to cause me issues when trying to add a projector into the setup.
We currently have the following
PS4 - can be used for streaming apps, but is rarely used
SKY Q - Used for general TV watching and movies.
TV - LG OLED is used for Netflix, Amazon etc.. (these can be used on the PS4 if needed)
SONOS Playbar - Optical from TV into the playbar
My main question is how will I integrate the projector into this setup and still keep the audio coming from the Playbar?
Im thinking that a couple of HDMI Splitters and an Optical Switch will be the best solution. Ive attached a simple diagram showing what im thinking.
Optical Switch-
HDMI Splitter
I remember in the past I've spent a small fortune on splitters, but for now, id prefer to invest in the PJ and upgrade these peripherals at a later date if required.
Any help or pointers on this would be great
