I would like to use this with my Xbox One plugged in to the master, I can only get the slaves to be on or off all the time. Any advice?

OK, let's find the source of the problem: First, unplug the X-Box from the CONTROL OUTLET. Then substitute a simple load, such as a table lamp with a standard 40-100 watt incandescant light bulb. Turn the light on and off and see if that switches the slave outlets (there is a slight time delay - that is normal). If that works, then the SmartStrip is OK, otherwise, it is defective. X-Boxes, Playstations, etc. draw current even when they're "off", and that amount of "quiescent current" may be too high for the current sensing circuit in the SmartStrip. All is not lost - yet. Swap the table lamp back to the X-Box, and try turning the small sensitivity adjustment on the edge of the power strip. It sets the point at which the current sensor inside the unit triggers the ON/OFF function for the slave outlets. If it doesn't work in the clockwise direction, then turn it the other direction. If that still doesn't work, your X-Box is still drawing too much current from the AC line - a common issue with game boxes. It's not a defect, just the poor energy design of some game boxes. As a last resort (if the sensitivity adjustment didn't work), you could use an in-line AC switch between the Control Outlet and the X-Box. It kind of defeats the purpose of using the SmartStrip, but it's still better than nothing at all.

Should be an adjustment screw on side to set sensitivity. Make small adjustments and it should work.

Does your Xbox still draw power while you think it is "off"? Conversely, does it draw enough power when it is on? Mine works with a laptop used as the master and all other appendages (external monitor, docking station) in the green, switched outlets.

The master drives the slaves and there are a couple that are on all the time. If you plug xbox into master then tv into slave then what happens is that when you press the on button to xbox the tv will turn on also. If you plug tv into master and xbox into slave then you just need to turn tv off or on.

If you tried the adjustment dial, and tested it with another controlling device, maybe your plug is defective.

I've not tried that directly, but I suspect the controller is not smart enough to remember it's settings without power, ie, you unplug, it resets to off.

Hey, I just checked mine out and you are able to switch the inputs with the button on the unit. I have mine hooked up to my PS3 and X-Box 360, so I generally only have one running at a time so it's not really an issue for me. But, I just turned them both on and it will default to the device plugged into input 1, but you can press the button on the unit and it will cycle through to input 2 and input 3. The only downside would be that you'd have to manually do it on the unit as this doesn't come with a remote. But, unless you're switching between them fairly often I don't see that it would really be an issue.

Not plug and play. However, Creative makes a version for the Xbox and it comes with an adapter. Perhaps you can find the adapter from someone with a broken headset for cheap?

It works great with my ps4 other than the fact that my kids got ahold of them. they spun the mic around so many times they broke the mute. I still love them though(the headset). When ive tried to hook them up to my xbox one i had to buy an xb1 mic connector thing. they are $20 or so. What you have to do is connect the chat pad to the controller. Then get a 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable and plug that from the chat pad to the headset. seems simple and no its not wireless anymore but i can live with that. The problem i am having is i can hear the game but i cant talk to my buddies. maybe im doing it wrong. i would suggest buying any headset that says it works with xb1.

You have to link them by pushing the sync button by the connector port on the controller and also maybe pushing a button on the xbox, I'm not positive but you only do it once.

There is no indication. You can plug a radio or a lamp when you are setting up your system though to make sure it working properly. I think the master/control device you have isn't completely turning off. I use my television, and I had to turn off the quick start up feature to get this to work. If whatever device you're using has something like that, then it won't sense that the master device has ever shut down, so there will always be power to the controlled outlets. Hope this helps.

I do apologize for any inconvenience. First make sure all cables and connections are good, and the optical output mode of your Xbox one is set to PCM (stereo). Then try to power the converter from a USB wall charger or another USB port. If none of these helps, please contact us a for return or replacement.

Currently I am using it with UStream and it only displays Master Control. Sorry I couldn't be more help! : )

I believe that you can use the slave unit only since it has composite inputs (as long as you have the yellow/red/white output for the video game system). The master screen seems to only have output to the other screen. Take this advice with a grain of salt, I've never seen the units out of the box and learned this by reading the manual from the Philips website. It was a deal breaker for me because I want to also be able to play content from my iPhones/iPad to both screens--no dice.

I have my reciever set to turn on with the tv via the TV not the power strip. I then have the reciever as the master and the 2 sub woofers and ps3 as slaves. There's a very small delay a sec or 2. But like I said my setup is tv, reciever(master), subs(slave) ps3(slave).

Do you have a Xbox talkback cable connecting the Xbox controller to the z22 in line amp? Also I think you need an adapter to plug z22 amp to the Xbox properly.

I was only pushing it on the controller and it would not work.I tried E. Manns post - You need to push the ))) button on the X-box AND the controller simultaneously - the X-box light and the cotroller light both need to both be swirling at the same time for them to sync up.I was ready to take the thing back - but E. Manns post is spot on and does work.Thanks E Manns!

I think you need to buy an Xbox one adapter. I only used this for my xbox 360.

You will listen to what you are plugged to. If u plug it to ur xbox control, u will listen to the game. So I guess the answer is no.

Try hooking the USB cord to the Xbox into any USB port on the Xbox along with the hdmi cord. That was the only way I got mine to do it- now it plays no problem.

I use mine to watch blurays on my XBOX One without issues. As a matter of fact, I didn't have any issues setting it up to control both my XBOX 360 and XBOX One independently so that each is controlled discretely.
