Initially I had to turn the soundbar on and off from the plug to force it to detect the change but once that has been done I’ve not had any issues. In input one I have a ps5 and in input two I have the desertcart fire stick 4k. All works fine. Product is lite but built well. The remote is simple and seems durable. Can’t go wrong for the price. Hope this helps Review: Almost perfect - I had quickly used the available 2.2 HDMI sockets on my AV receiver and had been looking for a suitable HDMI switch. The Kinivo 550BN allows you to connect up to 5 HDMI devices to one HDMI socket. It handles 4K, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision and eARC. It’s small, similar size to an external hard drive and can be installed with minimal skill following the comprehensive instructions. In the box you get: 1 x Kinivo 550BN unit 1 x Power adapter (includes a Euro plug too) 1 x instruction manual 1 x Remote control It took me around 20 minutes to install the unit into my home cinema system. However, more simpler installations , between a source, the Kinivo and a display would be quicker. That being said, the Kinvo has one really big and frustrating feature, the placement of the sockets on the side of the unit. To the rear of the unit are 4 HDMI sockets, a further socket on the left side and a further socket and the power input on the other side. This may seem okay initially, but it makes finding a suitable location and cable management very difficult. I would rather the unit be slightly wider to allow all sockets be on the rear of the device. The instructions are very clear, even explaining why certain devices cannot use the auto switching function will not work. The auto-switching function means the unit switches between devices automatically, removing the need to use the remote control. I have placed the Kinivo between my Sky Q, a 4K blu ray player and 4K AV receiver. I was pleased to discover that the Kinvo allowed pass through (signals pass through the AV receiver without it powered on) and switched quickly between the two devices. Using good quality, branded HDMI cables I did not notice any degradation in picture quality. When I powered the Amp on, the Kinvo continued to work and automatically switched between devices. I played a movie via SkyQ and it was delivered in UHD with a Dolby+ (Atmos) sound. Switching to watch a blu ray, all sound formats, TrueHD, DTSHD, Atmos ect, played perfectly. It might be coincidence, but when watching Sky, the picture does appear to have become more defined with the Kinvo, however, that may just be coincidence. To conclude, the Kinvo BN550 is a cracking HDMI switch. It’s good value for money and I recommend it highly. Pros Small unit/footprint 5 inputs 4K UHD, 18Gbps, Dolby Atmos,Dolby Vision, ARC & Pass through Easy to set up and operate. Cons Location of HDMI sockets making cable management and positioning the unit difficult. ## Features - ➤ 5 IN 1 OUT: Connect five HDMI source devices (e.g. game console, DVD player, streaming devices, Apple TV, Roku etc..) to one HD Display (HDTV) helping reduce clutter from wires being fed into your HDTV - ➤ 4K 60Hz Ultra HD: Experience your favorite media through advanced crystal-clear true 4K 60Hz resolution.

For more questions or concerns, please contact us at our website. **Q: Can you turn off auto-switching? this 'feature' seems to be very problematic with apple laptops and caldigit dock on other switches i've tried.** A: Yes, you can turn off the automatic switching. Hold down the switch button until the output LED turns green. This indicates that automatic switching has been turned off. For more questions or concerns, please contact us at our website. **Q: Would it be ok to power off the the switch at night** A: MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: Yes, it is safe to power the switch off at night by unplugging it, or connecting it to a switchable outlet. The switch itself does not have an on/off button. For more questions or concerns, please contact us at our website. **Q: Does this work with Dolby Vision and Atmos passthrough??** A: The answer was incorrect. I can’t speak for Dolby vision but Atmos is absolutely not working with this switch. Appletv into tv hdmi 2 with Sonia beam in arc hdmi 1. No issue. Atmos all day. Put a switch in hdmi 2 and run the appletv to that, Atmos vanishes. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2 devices connected and works well with soundbar direct from the tv *by S***I on 14 June 2026* It works, and with the soundbar connected to the ARC HDMI port of the tv, works with it as well.

However, only 4 stars because of the design - Toslink audio cables are thick and impossible to hide, so the socket should be on the rear of the unit instead in the side. There is a helpful instruction leaflet (!) which saved me a lot of frustration because it warned me that the automatic HDMI switching will NOT work with Roku devices because they always output a signal even when on standby (not in use). The remote control is needed to switch between HDMI inputs, so make sure that the piece of plastic packing that insulates the battery is removed before use. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kinivo HDMI Switch 4K HDR 550BN (5 in 1 Out, 4K 60Hz HDR, HDMI 2.0, High Speed 18Gbps, IR Remote, HDCP) - Compatible with Roku, PS5, Xbox, Apple TV, Nintendo Switch, Cable Box - Highwings Short 8K HDMI Cable 1FT/0.3M 48Gbps, Ultra High Speed HDMI Braided Cord-4K@120Hz, 8K@60Hz,eARC,DTS-HD,12 Bit Color Compatible for PS5,Monitor,PC and More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/146682297-kinivo-550bn-4k-60hz](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/146682297-kinivo-550bn-4k-60hz) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
