Works well but sometimes needs to be turned off

I bought this HDMI splitter to transfer HDMI 2.0 4K UHD audio/video signals to my new Samsung QF8N 4K HDTV (HDMI 2.0 specification) and my old one Denon receiver (HDMI 1.4 specs) so I can enjoy 4K video without losing uncompressed surround sound to my Denon receiver. I struggled for a while to get audio properly to my Denon, but that was because the HDMI cable that connected from the splitter to the Denon was an old 1.4 spec cable. I replaced it with a new HDMI 2.0 cable (the other two cables are 2.0), after that everything worked fine. My only very minor issue is that sometimes I have to unplug the power cord from the splitter and plug it back in (power cycle) to get the Denon sound working again. It was only a couple of times, but it's not critical. I definitely recommend this splitter to avoid buying a new receiver to enjoy good sound with your new 4K HDTV. Always buy such a splitter with power.
