## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi, how can i use this when netflix or youtube apps are built in smart tv?**
A: In this case you won't be able to sync video, but you might be able to sync audio if you plug the sync box to a HDMI ARC port on your TV.

To have video synced you must have the source plugged into the sync box, which obviously you can't do if the source is running on your TV.

**Q: Hi I have the sync box connected to stereo receiver. The video and gaming features work fine but it won’t sync to music. Help please?**
A: It would be great if you had described exactly how all your devices are chained together. The best way to think about all these HDMI connections is that both audio and video flow from your source devices, at the end of the chain, through the sync box and then to your TV.

The sync box can only sync with what flows through it (audio or video), so you must connect the output of all the source devices you want to have the lights synced with to the inputs of your sync box.

Particularly for audio, you could also have the sync box plugged into a HDMI ARC port on your TV and sync with audio from a source that is not directly plugged to the sync box, e.g. a music streaming app running on your TV. This likely works because the TV would be sending its audio down to the sync box through the ARC port.

In my home I have a streaming box (e.g. Roku) connected to my sync box, and my sync box connects to my TV on a regular HDMI port. I also have a soundbar connected to my TV's ARC port, so it can play whatever my streaming box is sending.

**Q: what is the input voltage? is it supports 220v?**
A: Yes. It supports 100v-240v input

**Q: Can you use this with a A/V receiver with video and audio switching?**
A: Take the output of the receiver into 1of the inputs on the Philips bar, then output of the bar to the tv.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it
*by R***O on January 7, 2025*

Configuratios is way to complicated, and requires the full thing to work (strip light for the tv, the sync box and the bridge).Is crazy expensive but the quality of what you get is undeniable. A bit sad that it doesn't work directly with the Samsung tv built-in apps, only works with the connected devices via HDMI, or if the Samsung tv is one of the newest models and Qled or Oled versions.A side from that, i think it work as expected, but I'm sure I'm missing features due to incompatibility or lack of available public user data.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marvelous technology Read this if you want to know how to use it.
*by C***E on January 17, 2025*

I bought the Philips hue sync box with the LED strip for the top of the back of the TV and the bar that goes along the bottom of the TV. This TV is a Sony 77-in A80L and is mounted beautifully on the back and creates a magnificent juxtaposition of the light that is being cast from the scene and then emits from the scene around your room without distracting from the shot.You have to have an external stream box if you want streaming content to be affected with the hue system. It's also very touchy with 4K blu-ray players in that if you have a Sony, it doesn't work. You have to have the top of the line Panasonic DP UB820 which I'm just ordering. But back to the streaming issue, TVs do not send video they send audio through their eARC HDMI port.Now some people look at the back of the unit and see 4 HDMI inputs and one output and the software switches those inputs to the output. If you use it in this fashion you will be wasting your money. It does not work that way. It is very clunky and completely puts everything out of sync. The correct way of using it is having an AVR with dual outputs and use the secondary output to feed the input number one of the Philips hue box. If the AVR does not have a dual HDMI output then you need to have a HDMI splitting amplifier so that you have two HDMI outs of your AVR. The other point is that you should not run it in and out to the TV as it affects the signal going to it and it's another thing in the past that that usually screws up and end up regretting it. This set up I got is around $500 for the two lights and the sync box. Yes that is very pricey but the technology required to strip the metadata out of the HDMI input for the video signals is quite extensive so it works really well if you hook it up correctly. You have a full multimedia sound system to hook it up to correctly. It doesn't really work with single systems. Good luck

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pricey, but soooo cool when you get it set up!
*by W***C on August 25, 2020*

I was a bit hesitant at first to plop down so much on this especially with some mixed reviews, but now that I have it set up I can say it was worth it for me.First, I should preface this with the fact that this item is completely and totally unnecessary. If you’re considering this it’s because you have something cool in mind you want to do, not because your viewing pleasure is significantly enhanced. Don’t buy this expecting to revolutionize your movies/games.That being said, this is really cool especially with video games. My experience with it has been mostly positive. I set this up with a couple hue play light bars behind my tv. It works well with video games and movies, and as long as you’ve configured the entertainment area in the app properly the colors are pretty spot on and match what’s on the screen pretty well. It definitely adds to the ambiance. The syncing occasionally has run into a few hiccups, but it usually straightens itself out. No noticeable delay between audio and. Video, and no issues with delays between game controller input and video. I should note I’m running this at 1080p or lower resolution. I haven’t Tried 4K yet.The app for managing the box is pretty straightforward, and I was able to easily set this up in my Logitech Harmony remote.There are a few downsides. The first is the price. For what this thing does, it’s pretty expensive. That said, it seems to perform well inside the Hue ecosystem and it’s reliable so it’s worth the money in my opinion. Second, the music syncing needs some work. I haven’t used it much yet, but with my 2 lights it seems to randomly select 2 colors and then just kind of strobe them along with the beat rather than changing the colors. There’s no settings I can find to even select what colors, or force it to cycle. This might just be my setup, but I didn’t buy it for this purpose so I’m not really that disappointed by it. Lastly, it doesn’t come with a remote. I already had a 3rd party remote I could use it with, so it wasn’t an issue for me, but if I didn’t have one I’d be stuck managing it with the app. The 2.4ghz WiFi where the sync box is isn’t the greatest due to a lot of interference (and no 5Ghz support???), and my app loses the connection sometimes as a result.Overall, I’m pretty happy with this and I will be getting some more lights in the future to expand on my current setup!
