Review by S. Rajagopalan for 3 Port Smart HDMI Switch

I have to say this the no-name switch outperforms the pros. I needed to connect my ps3 (hdmi) and dish receiver (hdmi) to an hdtv which only had a dvi input (using an hdmi to dvi cable). I tried the sony str-dg720 receiver for hdmi switching, then the monoprice hdmi switcher. Neither worked (the sony manual says it doesn’t play well with hdmi-dvi cables, so I was going out on a limb there).
Now this little baby on the other hand, comes with extremely poor written instructions (think google translation of a foreign language manual), so I connected it not even expecting it to work. But wonders! Not only does it switch flawlessly between the ps3 and the dish receiver (producing a perfect output), it even has a “priority” function which works perfectly.
Basically, the dish hdmi port always outputs a signal, even on standby, so I keep it on a lower priority input (port 2). I’ve connected the ps3 to port 1, so if I turn on the ps3 this switches automatically to the ps3. When the ps3 is powered off, it automatically switches back to the dish receiver.
It’s great to find a product which actually performs as advertised. Kudos to the manufacturer and CE compass (the amazon seller I bought this product from). 100% worth the money.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R36QNGH0IXL0TH If you are reading this review you have probably shopped around and studied the various types of HDMI switches. I am happy to report (and show) that this could be the switch for you. Installing is easy (as you would expect) taking less than 5 minutes. Video quality appears to be great (I can’t tell a difference between using the switch and directly wiring the HDMI and bypassing the switch).
The best feature is the price! This unit is about 50% less than any other HDMI switch on the market.
– The automatic switching does not work for me – mainly because one of my devices is an Apple TV which tricks the HDMI Switch into thinking that it is always on.
– The automatic switching is not a problem since the HDMI Switch comes with an IR remote – while the remote is flimsy it can be easily programmed into a smart remote.
Final Verdict – I am very happy both in the products functionality and in the price.
5 Stars

This is a very small plastic box that has an ominous connector for power. No power supply is provided. No matter. It works without it.
It comes with a small remote control and receiver. I’m not sure why you would need it. The priority scheme lets you power up a device to switch to it. This is what you want and need.
It takes a few seconds to stabilize but then works fine.
This doesn’t look like much but it works great!!!
I have a DVD player and a Tivo HD, both with HDMI outputs. My 1080i TV has only one HDMI input. By connecting the two with the Tivo having priority, I’m able to turn on the DVD player and it will switch to it. When I’m done, I turn off the power and I’m back to Tivo. What could be more elegant!
Update: I wanted to change to 5 stars but the software won’t let me.

I received this HDMI switch a few days ago and it works great. When researching it, I tried to find experiences of others with the Roku Netflix player, and I could not find any. So if anybody else wants to know my Roku experience, here it is:
My configuration is as follows: I have a DVD player, a cablebox/DVR, and the Roku player. If you’ve read the reviews you know that if multiple inputs are always “on”, the switch cannot “guess” which one to switch to. In my configuration, the cable box and the Roku are always on.
What I have done is attached the devices in the order shown above – the DVD is “1″, the cable box is “2″ and the Roku is “3″. So when I turn the DVD player on, the switch detects that and switches to DVD mode.
When I turn the DVD off, the switch automatically goes to the second device, which is always the cable box (even if I had been watching the Roku earlier).
The only ways to get to the Roku are to tap the button on the switch, or to use the remote. And that’s fine, since I use the Roku much less frequently than the cable box or the DVD player. If it was other way around (use the Roku more than cable), I would just reverse the two devices, and plug the Roku into “2″ and the cable into “3″.
Speaking of the remote, I had no problem programming my universal remote to simulate the provided HDMI switch remote, so I have filed the provided remote away.
Finally, there is a feature that I don’t believe I have seen mentioned in other reviews: the switch itself, and all its ungainly wires (3 input, one output) can be stowed discreetly BEHIND the DVD player or cable box or whatever. In effect it can be invisible. Infrared remotes cannot access hidden components, so they have provided a little mouse-shaped IR receiver, which I have placed on top of my DVD player. It is attached to the hidden switch via a provided cable, and it responds very well to my remote control
One thing I didn’t notice was that this purchase included a single 3-foot HDMI cable. Since I didn’t notice that I bought one extra cable (from the same Amazon supplier (CE Compass). So if you need cables to go with this switch, remember one comes with it. The extra cables that I got were dirt-cheap and they all seem to work great.
So we’re very happy with this little purchase and fully recommend it.

At first, I opened the HDMI switcher. It didn’t have a power adapter. So, I read the directions. “Works when connected to power source”. But no adapter was provided. I went to Best Buy, got one of those generic plugs. Hooked it all up, nothing worked. Needed a 5V adapter and all they had was one that would switch from 4.5 to 6 V. Needless to say, i was pretty upset. Then, i signed on to Amazon here, and read everyone else’s reviews.
They said it doesn’t need the power adapter. So skeptically, I disconnected the adapter, hooked everything else back up. And sure enough, works like a charm. The remote doesn’t work, but like everyone else says, you don’t need it as long as you power down all of the other devices that are connected to the HDMI Switcher. Then you just power up what you want, and it automatically goes to that device.
Works like a champ once you try it without a power adapter.

For about $20, my expectations weren’t too high, but this product has done everything the description says it will do. There’s three HDMI inputs on the “front” and one output on the “back” (front and back distinctions are at your discretion). Simply hook up your devices and then connect to your upstream television or other video display device. The box takes care of switching back and forth or you can use the included 3-button remote to manually swap.
It all works perfectly. The device does take about 30 seconds to notice that my Xbox 360 has been shut down, but I don’t know if that’s the fault of the box or if the 360 doesn’t close off the HDMI port until the final moment.

Very nice unit for a very reasonable price. Does the job as advertised. Small size is handy for those with an aversion to clutter.

The device works as stated in other reviews but if you are planning on hooking up your Samsung devices with Anynet connectivity, the anynet will not work as if directly connected without the switch, it’s a pain having to manually turn the TVs speakers back on after killing the surround etc…

I must admit, when I purchased this switcher for under $20 my expectations weren’t very high, but I decided to give it a chance because I didn’t like the reviews other switchers got. Well, after using this product I think everyone should give this a try as long as they don’t need more than 3 HD components to switch between, which is the only thing I think can be improved on.
There are a few things I love about this product:
1. The IR receiver lets me hide the switcher behind all the components
2. When I turn on a component, it will automatically switch to the new signal or if I turn one off, it will revert back to a signal that is left.
3. No power cord needed here, it uses the components to power on or off.

Works great. NOTE: NO POWER ADAPTER INCLUDED. I had to borrow a cord from an old digital camera. Requires a 5 volt. I must have missed the fine print, as was disappointed to learn this. Otherwise, it works great. I use my remote (Harmony 890) and the codes are in the data base. Good product…..don’t waste your money on an expensive one. Didn’t see that this was UL Approved?
I need a switch I think you have. Will you please call me.
