But I would also like to retain the CEC function of the Apple TV being able to power on/off the TV set. I realize the Xbox is not CEC compatible, which is why HDMI auto switching would be nice. "Auto-switching" HDMI switch (so I just need to power up the Xbox or Apple TV and the input will auto-select without the need for a separate remote). CEC enabled HDMI switch (so Apple TV turns on/off with TV set) Does anyone know of an HDMI switch or setup that fulfils these criteria?

I've read up on the Monoprice and Octava options but neither seems to meet my needs. I need to connect an Apple TV 4, Xbox One via an HDMI splitter/optical audio extractor in order to get 5.1 to my Playbar from all the devices. New Sonos owner here (Playbar, Sub, Play 1 surrounds) and I'm a bit hung-up on the optimal connectivity solution.

I haven't been on the forums in a few months and a cursory skim through thread posts didn't reveal anything new, although it sounds like Sonos may release a DTS update through software based on some rumors I read on the forums so that's exciting. Or maybe someone will report that Sonos has come out with an official list of TVs that support the Playbar's intended functionality that it was engineered around (re: sending 5.1 out of optical). If that Monoprice unit comes back, even though it's just a dual unit, maybe I can get away with running two of them, one into the other, to get the 3 inputs that I need. With the ability to manually switch for diagnostic or special use circumstances. I like the idea that whichever of the 4 inputs are outputting a signal is the one that is live.

Ideally, whatever I choose, it's automatic with a manual override. I would also consider an HDMI switcher that has the appropriate audio output that parses out the correct 5.1 audio signal. Then when friends come over and marvel at the slim form factor and design of the Playbar, I can point out that they'll need a gigantic A/V receiver in order to get it working properly. As ridiculous as it sounds (and actually is), my best bet may be to buy a cheap $100 to $200 A/V receiver and use that for all my audio routing to the Playbar. I sold my old A/V receiver with my old 5.1 speaker set when I bought my playbar. I'm also debating over whether I should just buy another A/V receiver. It does me no good if it downgrades the signal to 2.x. I need to route at least three inputs, ideally four to help future proof me. So, I'll need to buy an optical audio switcher. 99% chance it will not have it in spite of what people casually report on the internet. I'm buying a new TV soon but based on what research I've done, it's impossible to be certain any TV I buy will have proper 5.1 optical switching. It was from monoprice and the link is dead, and a search on monoprice makes it look like it's discontinued with nothing else up in its place.
