HT-TX3 & PS4 compatibility question?

ogmonster — Sun, 23 Apr 2017 18:16:27 GMT

I have a Sony HT-XT3 Sound stand with a Sony 4k television going out (HDMI) with Sky Q and Sony PS4 going in (HDMI 1 and 2). I can use the Sky Q remote to turn the tv and sound stand on, but I have to use the Sound stand remote to change input settings to HDMI 2 to use the PS4. Is there anyway of changing the settings, so the input automatically changes when the PS4 is turned on like it used to when it went directly into the television?

Hi there

I am unsure on a couple of things, but to confirm:

HT-XT3 connected via HDMI cable to the TVs ARC port
Sky Q connected via HDMI to the HT-XT3 on HDMI 1
PS4 connected via HDMI to the HT-XT3 on HDMI 2

First thing to do is ensure that "Bravia Sync" is enabled on the TV.

On the HT-XT3 - ensure that "Control for HDMI" is set to ON - Page 25 of the manual HERE

On the PS4 - enable "Activate HDMI Device Link" - see HERE for instructions

Thats really it I think.

Cheers

Many thanks for your help, that's very kind of you to help.

I've now got it to switch HDMI inputs when I switch on the PS4 and although it doesn't switch back to HDMI1 (Sky Q) when I switch the PS4 off again, it's still an improvement.
