Setup

Please watch this tutorial for the setup of the Fancy Sync Box.

See all our Instruction Manuals.

ARC is fully compatible with all Fancy Sync Box models, enabling Dolby Atmos support. The Fancy Sync Box also works with eARC ports on your TV by maintaining separate connections. For example:

• HDMI Device > Fancy Sync Box > TV
• Soundbar > TV eARC port

All sound from your HDMI devices will be routed to your soundbar.

Dolby Atmos delivers immersive 3D sound by enabling audio to move dynamically across channels, including overhead, for a richer experience. It is delivered through Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby TrueHD, depending on the source.

Dolby Digital Plus is a lossy codec, commonly used in streaming platforms like Netflix and Disney+, due to its efficient compression, which allows high-quality audio over limited bandwidth. Dolby TrueHD is a lossless codec, primarily found on Blu-ray discs, delivering higher fidelity. TrueHD is not supported by the Fancy Sync Boxes.

However, Dolby Digital Plus is used by streaming platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+ and is the standard for most setups, while Dolby TrueHD is reserved for Blu-ray discs or Plex. As a result, the majority of users rely on Digital Plus and do not use TrueHD in their current setups.

AVRs and soundbars are generally supported for use with our system; however, we have not tested compatibility with all models. Below, we outline the standard setup without an AVR or soundbar, followed by the recommended setups and two additional configurations that include a soundbar or AVR. We recommend using Option 1 or Option 2, as these setups are the most effective and work seamlessly. Option 3 and Option 4 are possible setup configurations, however, they have not been fully tested with all AVRs or soundbars to guarantee 100% compatibility.
