Review: So far, it did what I wanted it to do. - I have a Samsung QN65Q7FAM TV and a Samsung HW-M550/ZA sound bar. The other day when I tried using an optical audio cable from my TV to my sound bar and not an HDMI cable, the Dolby digital 5.1 sounds a lot better than it did when using the TV ARC connection. Only problem? I lose all of the neat HDMI-CEC (Any-net +) stuff when using optical over HDMI. What happens when I use both HDMI ARC and optical? The TV automatically defaults to HDMI making my optical connection useless. And then I found out about this little doohickey. It actually does allow me to use both the TV ARC and an optical cable together, but now it routes only the audio through the optical cable without trying to default through the HDMI. The only bad thing is- I had to practically turn off all the TV smart features(which I don’t use anyway) because even though now when I go to turn the TV off, my soundbar doesn’t turn off immediately like it did before. It actually has to wait about five minutes before it figures out there’s no incoming signal but, after everything‘s been turned off for a while, when I go to turn on my TV whether I’m using the TVs remote or my Apple TV’s remote, the TV still does turn on the soundbar and after turning off my TV smart features, I don’t have to go into my TV settings anymore and change the audio output from the TV speakers to the soundbar so all in all, this little adapter does work. Unfortunately, it’s not exactly like it was when I was using the TV ARC but for everything else I can do, I’ll take it. Not only that, being that I found out my TV can’t properly pass Dolby digital 5.1 to my sound bar using an HDMI cable- even if I go into my Apple TV settings and change the audio output from LPCM to Dolby digital 5.1; the only way to properly do that between the TV and the sound bar is through an optical cable.
Review: Lifesaver for flaky CEC! - I have a system with 3 sources (Tivo, Roku, DVD player) switched by an Onkyo AV receiver, which in turn sends its output to a 70” Samsung TV. for months I’ve tried to turn on the tv and have it activate the receiver, and it seemed itched to whatever input I was last using. When I turned off the tv, it turned off the receiver, which then turned back on again. After reading dozens of forums, how-to’s and articles, all I learned was that Samsung’s implementation of CEC is somewhat flaky, that Onkyo uniquely uses different signals for on and off, and that both sometimes lose their minds (receiver would turn off with the tv, the turn itself back on 30 seconds later; turning off the DVD player made the tv switch to the empty “tv” input, which I could only change by re-learning Samsung’s world-class-awful remote). But in time I learned a critical lesson: input sources that NEVER TURN OFF can fool CEC circuits (mine anyway) into thinking a whole new input source has just been activated, and they try to switch to that source, with the results noted above. Both Tivo and Roku units never turn off, and neither has a power switch. They only turn off if you unplug their power supplies, or smash them with a brick. So they have a constant “live” signal, if it’s only a screensaver, and don’t respond to CEC commands. This little doodad was the fix. After placing one in each HDMI line from the always-on devices to the receiver, the tv and receiver started playing footsie only with each other, turning on and off in near-lockstep while the Tivo and Roku play on!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well, should be cheaper
*by E***D on May 20, 2021*

This adapter is a simple pass-through dongle that eliminates one pin (pin13 I think) from the connection. Removing this pin prevents the device it is connected to from interfering with HDMI CEC. In particular, it's used to prevent the MiSTer FPGA gaming/computer system (specifically the DE-10 nano board) from causing HDMI CEC problems when your other multimedia devices (TV, consoles, video streaming boxes, etc) try to turn each other on and off. Taking one star off because it could be priced a lot lower for what it is, a simple connector that removes one pin.
