I have a LG TV as well as a PS4 and a Blu Ray player. In the past, I had only one connected to the back of my TV to use it. I decided to get a hdmi splitter. I hooked both devices up to it but when I turn both on, the tv only recognizes one device. It only recognizes the other one when I connect that device to the hdmi splitter and disconnect the other one. I don’t know what to do. Anyone can help?

The third picture has one of the devices hooked up to the hdmi splitter and they work when I press the input the button, the fourth picture is where all two of the hdmi plugs are and the two back of the picture TVs show the model number.

That looks OK buddy!

Maybe this vid will guide ya?

For your setup scenario (one TV, two output devices), you will need a HDMI Switch rather than HDMI Splitter. HDMI Splitter is used when you have multiple displays and only one output device, and want to display the signal from output device on multiple TVs.

HDMI Switch work the opposite way. It will allow multiple HDMI output devices (PS4 and Blu Ray player) to be hooked up to a single TV and you can switch between two output devices to be displayed on the TV.

Thank you you two.

Your welcome my friend :)

You probably have a communication issues between devices and your display. For HDMI connection, there is a thing called "Handshake" which have to occur between the device and display in order for the signal (video and audio) to go thru. You may have to turn the input device (PS4 or Blu Ray player) and TV Off and back On for the device you planning to use, so the digital Handshake can occur between the device and TV.

It is also recommended to turn Off the other input device that is connected to the HDMI Switch which you are not using. So if you are planning to connect PS4 to the TV, turn the Bluray player Off that is connected to the switch.

As a side note, you said you only have two devices (PS4 and Bluray) that you like to switch between. But I see in the your photo that you three HDMI cables input hooked up to the HDMI Switch. What device is the third HDMI cable hooked up to?

I hope so.

It was an easy fix. Now it works. I tested it. I just had it in the wrong plug.

.now I can’t activate my ps4 without turning on my blu ray. What can I do? Are there different instructions

Hmmmmmmm Does the PS4 use the BLU RAY player for anything??

It might not be possible??

Don’t think so. Here’s what ai said

This happens because of HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), a feature that allows devices to communicate with each other. When a device like your Blu-ray player is connected, it's likely sending a signal that the splitter or your TV is interpreting as a command to power on your PS4. You can fix this by disabling HDMI-CEC on either your TV, PS4, or the Blu-ray player, often through a setting called "HDMI Device Link" or "Control for HDMI".

Disable on your PS4: Go to Settings > System > HDMI Device Link and turn it off.
Disable on your TV: Look for a setting in your TV's menu related to HDMI-CEC, which might be called "HDMI Device Link," "Control for HDMI," or something similar. Turn this feature off.
Disable on your Blu-ray player: Check the settings menu of your Blu-ray player for any options related to "HDMI Control" or "HDMI Link" and disable it.
Adjust the HDMI splitter: Some splitters have their own settings. Try disabling any "CEC" or "Device Link" settings on the splitter itself, if available.

I tried doing this and so far it works.

Reset video output: If your PS4 is still not working correctly, you can try resetting its video output. Turn the PS4 on without an HDMI cable connected, then press and hold the power button until you hear a second beep. Once you reconnect the HDMI cable, you should be able to see the PS4's display.

Im glad it works buddy!!
