Class is in standby, the signal of the last selected input source can also be looped through. So you can also watch TV without having to have everything running. Putting the headset on, the box is checked and you can enjoy the sound of the headset is removed, this disabled immediately and the box follows the headset shortly afterwards as to standby perfectly.
But why I can not award 5 stars is easily explained.
When its external sources, for me Sat, Apple TV, laptop, PlayStation ... anschießt, there are 3 HDMI inputs are available, the box looped though the signal by itself in standby (if the correct channel was active) and you can as usual via Home Cinema and Tv enjoy his movie but the headset to activate the Home Cinema is suddenly silent and the sound is output only on the headphones. Why ???
Remedy creates an optical cable which you look rather than the entire HDMI outputs of the devices to put up only the audio signal from the satellite and so outdated.
Disadvantage of the entrance there is only one and therefore we must put around between satellite and Apple TV. An optical output is present, however, the only grinds the optical input by and not even the audio of all incoming HDMI signals. Too Bad. Thus, no return to the home theater.
An audio from the laptop via HDMI you get only the headphones sent. Unless you look for a 3.5mm / RCA on Optical Adapter, well even more of a pain for the ears with such a headset.
Sorry for a 400 Euro headphones I expect stuck no X Adapter and constant round. It is beyond me that is transmitted from the HDMI standby the audio, in the active state of the headset, however, only the image.
Satellite and Co have the option of an optical cable connecting a laptop does not unfortunately.
SOLUTION:
At the end was told who owns a TV with optical output, but does not get everything you want. If the TV has this, at 4 Tv at my house there have only. 2
Never push all signals as usual and via HDMI to the TV guide (directly by satellite or via the Home Cinema) and the TV via optical out directly to the headphone setup box and from then on you can enjoy without a new lay all HDMI Cables good sound parallel to the Home Cinema or TV and the headphones to the same ...
The HDMI inputs and outputs on the box (Central Unit of the headphones) are unnecessary. Thus one would be able to build the box in the size of an Apple / Amazon Tv and it would be the same effect have been accomplished.
Or an HDMI inputs and outputs for active audio transmission while using the headset.
A lack of USB port for the direct upload of the headphone is missing as well, these points are a point deduction justice in the evaluation.
At the end is to say well meant dear Sony but not quite thought through. Perhaps a software update makes the loop through the audio signal via HDMI with active headphones but then again possible.
Keep I have headphones, so you do not get a sound sensation all day. The price is violent, a home cinema with such a sound but nothing cheaper.
