Hello,

I have an Epson EH-LS11000W projector and I want to connect both a PS5 and a soundbar to it.

My HDMI cables are both 15 m active optical HDMI 2.1 cables, so they are directional and marked “Source” and “Display.”

Am I correct that the proper setup should be:

• PS5 HDMI OUT → Epson HDMI 1
  • Source end at the PS5
  • Display end at the projector
• Soundbar HDMI eARC/ARC → Epson HDMI 2 eARC/ARC
  • Source end at the soundbar
  • Display end at the projector

I mainly want to make sure I get the cable directions right and that this is the best way to preserve PS5 features like 4K/120 while sending audio to the soundbar.
