How does auto-switch option works when device is in standby mode like PS4 or TVcable box, does sees it as off or still thinks it's on?

The light indicator will be on some standby devices (i.e. Roku, Xbox one) and some will be off (i.e. Directv DVR). On some occasions you will have to manually switch. Best thing to do is keep in mind the lower the number on the box will have a priority.

It does not see it at all. Auto switch will only work as devices are turned on. You then have to manually change between them. If the device is in standby, DVDO will not find it.

Good question. Depends on device. Had a problem with my bluray player not switching when I turned it off. Found a setting in the menu which completely shuts it down and fixed the issue. I also just updated the firmware and it now switches off the Apple TV when I put it to sleep. It didn't work before the update. Everything works good now including the DirecTv gene I have hooked up to it. Also, it helps to use the correct order when booking up components that don't sleep. You can set the switch to scan on disconnect or just turned on.

At least with our set up, if the cable box is turned off, so is the internet connection. Also, when you virtually unplug the cable box it needs to reset itself and take about 5 minutes to reload all the program/channel information. With this power cord "off" is more than off, it's virtually unplugged.

It should automatically switch to whatever is on. If you have more than one device turned on then you'll have to switch manually.

I've had the unit for several years with no problems. However, when you switch functions from TV/ Cable to DVD it automatically switches the audio source for you. But, when you switch back, you have to manually reset the Function to TV / Cable. Hope that's all your problem is.

Dear Customer,Thank you for your question about our 301BN Premium 3 port HDMI switch. The device would work without a well with devices that leave the HDMI signal always-on, even when powered off. However, the auto-switching will not be possible with these devices. You will still be able to manually switch between devices with the remote or with the button on the unit.Please contact us at support@kinivo.com if you have any additional questions.Thank you, Kinivo Product SupportEmail: support@kinivo.comToll Free: 1-855-4Kinivo (1-855-454-6486)Live Chat: http://support.kinivo.com(Mon-Fri: 9am-5pm Pacific) Dear Customer,Thank you for your question about our 301BN Premium 3 port HDMI switch.

The switch works when one of the three units is turned on and automatically switches to another unit when it is turned on. I understand that if any of the three devices, like the cable box, is always on, that should be in slot 1, and the others should be plugged in in the order of frequency that they are used. I would try each of the three inputs separately in slot 1 first, then try them in tandem. I have had no problem plugging in a Dish Network Receiver, a Blu-Ray player and a Google Chromecast.

For this item the auto switch does not work all the time. What I have noticed is you power on the device it will then trigger to switch to that channel.Hope this helps

It really does not work very well, I have to switch manually every time. Sometimes it might work but it depends on what type of devices you are connecting, because as long as I could realize, this works checking the voltage a device send to the unit and then it switch. If no voltage or all devices are sending a sending a voltage signal, it will no switch. That's the problem :/

No, not if the receiver is totally OFF. It must be in Standby Mode. Setup allows you to decide which input will then activate the Standby Pass Mode and then that signal will be sent to the TV. Standby Pass Mode does deactivate the Sleep Timer Function and the Auto Standby is disabled.

I have 3 devices attached to this hub. The device switches to the most recently turned on device. So, if my HTPC was already on, and I turn on the blue-ray player, it switches to the blue-ray player port (most of the time). To ensure that the hub switches to what I want it to, I make sure all of my devices are off if I am not using them. Then when I turn a device on, the hub is not confused on what port to turn on. And I honestly have never used the remote. I tucked the hub behind everything as the lights were very bright. It is just within reach for me to get to the actual switch on the front of the hub should the hub not switch to the port I want it on.

I do. I setup the program on the PVR with my TV on the HDMI selection and change my TV back to TV mode. Leave the PVR on and not in standby mode. All digital TV's have a selector button that allows you to switch between tv, av, hdmi and dvd.

The standby switch puts the modem into "stanby mode." Essentially, it is not completey "off" in this state, but the RJ45 and USB interfaces are turned off, essentially disconnecting the computers/routers from the internet.I never found much use for it. It was mostly a nuisance, because I would bump it when working on things, and then lose my connections.I was relieved to find the button missing on the 5101U I use now.

Automatic switching never worked for me, and I don't believe there's an. Option to turn it on or off.

This has always switched automatically once connected to dock; there should be nothing to do. Check to make sure unit is connected to dock properly and dock is plugged in. the only issue I have ever had is getting the HDMI output to connect with my TV.

It will auto sense the device as long as that device is the only one powered on. If you have your cable box and play station both powered on for example it will not work. If you have an Xbox and a playstation and only one is turned on then yes it will auto sense

As from the manual: Auto Standby function: The unit automatically enters the standby mode if the status with no operation and sound continues 5 minutes. To switch on/off this function, press and hold first , and then for about 3 seconds. When this function is set to on, the indicator flashes once. It flashes twice when this function is set to off.

It should work for you on standby, unless your TV draws a considerable amount of current in standby. There is an adjustment which allows one to adjust the level of current that it senses before it turns on / turns off.
