BlueRigger 4K HDMI CEC Less Adapter (UHD, ARC,1080p, Ethernet) - Male to Female HDMI CEC Blocker, Compatible with HDTV, TV Stick, Chromecast, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PS3, Laptop, PC, Game Console

I've been having CEC issues with my new atmos dolby processor I'd just purchased. My entire set Inc. Peripherals began behaving strangely. The processor would drop the audio TV signal unexpectedly or would revert to PCM 2.0 channel even though audio signal was DD+. Additionally my peripherals like 4K DVD player would turn on uncommanded. After researching the issue online. Many were talking about taping off of pin 13 within the HDMI cable head which would disable the CEC functionality. Researching things further I then stumbled upon "Blue Rigger" CEC adapter. Connected CEC adapter to the relevant connections. It's built to a high spec, easy to use and install, flexible as to which end of the cable or connection you place it. Doesn't disrupt eARC signal and completely blocks the CEC signals from my peripherals. (no pin 13). No more issues with strange behaviours from my Audio Visual system. Everything is now stable. And when I turn my TV on the DD+ audio signal is passed through to the processor without issues now. I did a check within my TV's CEC settings list all my peripherals no longer listed apart from my processor which is connected directly to the TV via the eARC port. Excellent device. Would recommend. Works as stated!

This is a great little product but with no instructions it took min about 5 minutes to work things out.If I am using my SKY puck my soundbar would constantly cut out if I changed through the channels quickly or if I used any of the apps. After connecting it up to my SKY puck it has 95% solved the issue. It still happens with the Netflix app (all other apps are now fixed). If I use the Netflix app via my Samsung TV it is fine.

I had purchased a soundbar to supplement an LG TV and Humax PVR.The soundbar wasn't switching on when the TV was turned on. I would if I turned everything off, disconnected the HDMI leads and the turned everything on again!After some research, I found out that my Humax PVR really didn't 'do' CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) correctly.I then found out that on a HDMI connector, Pin 13 is for CEC. So, I ordered a ‘BlueRigger 4K HDMI CEC Less Adapter’ which has Pin 13 disabled.The result, is that the Soundbar is working fine now (phew).In summary, this simple product solved my CEC issue.

Product was just what I needed

The media could not be loaded. I had an issue with my Sony TV (model KD-75X9000H) turning on by itself and AirPlay disconnecting whenever my beIN receiver (model KSTB6150) was connected. After installing an HDMI CEC Blocker, the problem was completely resolved. The TV no longer turns on randomly, and AirPlay works perfectly. Now I can also control my TV from Apple HomeKit without any interruptions. Highly recommend this if you’re facing a similar issue.

This is a product of good quality, and it worked when tested with a single product.We bought this adapter to try and get a non-working CEC set up between a sky puck and a Bose 600 smart soundbar to work together (so we could hear the soundbar when watching Sky via its puck).Unfortunately as soon as the puck was connected to the system this did not fix the sound issue, despite trying a number of set up configurations in pick software and use of this adapter.Seeing as this would be one more common way to try to use this adapter, I thought it helpful to mention that at present it doesn’t. (An internet search will show it is a common experience with this puck).So, this is a good product, worked well when tested on other products but know that it won’t fix the above sky puck/soundbar issue if that is your problem (we never managed to, had to return the soundbar unfortunately).

Sorted sound dropping out from virgin box and 4K player hdmi connection to receiverGreat product and well worth the price to rectify this known issueEasy to install10/10

Happily...... Seems to work well with Samsung Anynet+Have only just installed one of these onto the HDMi cable which is used for an older Samsung Blu-ray player. Right now, it definitely stops this kit turning on and completely taking over. Very pleased..... : )
