*I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*

**UPDATE: Hue Sync Box now supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+ as well as Voice Control and IR Control!!! ** Woohoo!!

[MikeyBoom]

maybe if it was $99 but at $200+ it's just too much

***HDMI Sync Box now supports HDR10+***

[annonymous]

Hello,

I keep reading that the sync box plays HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, so is it that the box has had a firmware update since you posted your video and is now compatible with these playbacks?

Thanks in advance.

[Justin_tech]

***UPDATE*** - People below are having success with Dolby Atmos and Vision. Comment here to explain how it's working for you - thanks! - J_t

Hue sync works when it wants to. Mine has stopped working or synching to my TV. Love it when it worked. Customer service shipping me a new box. Hope it works.

Find a man that loves you as much as this guy loves Phillips hue

How are the HDMI inputs labeled once synced? All of mine are just stuck in “syncing in progress” when selected.

[samuelaraiza]

Thanks for addressing the HDR and Dolby specs.

Can you use the TV HDMI OUT and plug into the Sync Box ? When only using apps from tv..and no play external play boxes...

Ah u answer that at 2:06 ... They havnt changed this by any chance?

[Charlie_Rock]

Had the sync box from day one. Have it connected to my avr and projector. Totally has changed how I watch content. Thank you Phillips!

[DaniBrasil]

Hey Justin, I have a Samsung TV that has a received which everything is plugged into it (AppleTV, Xbox, Cable box) which we are able to use that one remote control for it all. Then there is one wire that connects the receiver to the TV. Will the Philips Hue Sync Box work that way? Do you know how does it get connected? Thank you

If you just want to use the light strip do you need to purchase the bridge as well?

[duderock]

Am I able to use my lights on the TV without having the Sync Box or a bridge ?

For example, if I hook up the lights to my tv and then plug in the lights, am I able to use the app to control the light color. I understand the point of the sync box is for the lights to be in sync with the game system/movie I’m on, but if I just want to be able to control the color of the light on my TV (like putting one solid color) will I be able to ?

[Redeema]

Yes, thank you! I had no idea! Now I can finally use my Hue lights the way I always wanted to! 😁

[jonathanerlenbusch]

Just found your videos and love them! I love seeing how to make the most of my hue lights. I’ve had them for years and love seeing how to make the most of them!!

[anthonybootlis]

Thanks, but has dolby vision also been added ??

[WIZARTthe]

As long as this thing doesn’t support Dolby Vision, I won’t buy this. Dolby vision is the future. Disney+ and Netflix have a lot of content with it.

[nicolaoskapranos]

Do I need the bridge to use it all? I don’t have Philips lights, only want to buy the hue play for tv
