Is this an Auto switch? Option to manually or automatically switch? I have seen the same unit called 3 Port Auto HDMI Switcher. Wanted to confirm.

IT has manual switches but if im watching cable and power on my PS3 it will automatically switch to the PS3. If i power off the PS3 it will switch back to Cable.

manual. though it automatically switches to the latest connected input by default. There is a switch that you press in to change the "channels"

Yes it will switch automatically to the active HDMI output (there is no remote control, just a button). If you only have one HDMI on your TV and are watching something on one HDMI source and another connected HDMI unit comes on it will select that unit. Works good as long as the other connected unit isn't a DVR that is set to record a program while you're watching a DVD from another connected unit.

It has an option to manually switch (which is what I use). It automatically switches too (to an active HDMI connection) if a certain HDMI input is OFF. The picture is accurate. Works well so far. The main reason I bought is that I did not want an additional power input (like HDMI switchers use).

Only manages one HDMI input at a time. It is suppose to only run the powered on devise, but this feature has not worked for me. I only have one HDMI input and have Apple TV, Direct TV and my blue ray connected to this 3 way. In order to change devices I need to push a button on the switch to line up the HDMI from the device I want to use.

From what it looks like, you are correct in thinking that you will have to select the mode, then the input. The HDMI 1 and 2 ports share a mode with ports 1 and 2 of the component ports. So if you went to Video 1, i would hazard a guess that it defaults to HDMI, and to switch it to component you would have to change it to component. This to me seems like an extra unnecessary step.If anyone has this receiver and cares to prove me wrong, please let me know, because if it doesn't take the extra step, I might actually want to purchase this.

i have a similar cable matters device. the switch changeover is instant. however, my tv has a delay in recognizing the change in input resolution. i run wii, uverse and a blueray with my switch. all 3 inputs are different res (480p, 1080i, 1080p).

You want an HDMI switch, not this item. This is the opposite of what you want. You want 4 in, 1 out. This item is 1 in 4 out (duplicate displays). It seems your receiver does not have enough inputs and thus one will need to be shared. This is not ideal for a few reasons, but should work just fine. Doing things this way will make it so that you cannot label your receiver input because it represents multiple things. Also, using a switch will probably add a remote to your collection. On the bright side, a switch will be much cheaper than a new receiver. I have not used a switch before so good luck, try this search: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=HDMI+switch You want an HDMI switch, not this item.

To expand a little on these answers, you can use the switch on the device to switch among the three inputs, but the device works automatically in that the last of the three ports/inputs activated is what will plays/shows on your TV. Note that if you have more than one HDMI input on your TV, you need to use your TV's input control to select the input to which this Fosmon switch is connected.

No, it only switches between multiple inputs to one display device. What you are describing is called an hdmi splitter

The HDMI selector switch on here toggles between the ports, yes, BUT one port is for 1080i and the other is 1080p. The other switch controls output to either VGA or Component. This is not a HDMI switcher, but a converter. If you happen to have one of each input, then perhaps you could use it as a selector switch.

well my video won't switch between component inputs, i have to turn it off/on. so maybe not just a HDMI board problem

It is just a switch. One in 3 out. My TV has one, my Blue ray player has one and my 4k player has one.

I am having this exact same issue. I know this is an older posting but I thought I would see if I can ressurect it. I find that if I go to hdmi control and turn the switching off and then back on again it comes to life. sometimes. sometimes it just starts working after a while like it has to warm up or something. did any of you guys figure out what was going on?

That's why I got it and you are supposed to be able to manually switch but the device did not work at all for me. It may work for you. The return policy is forgiving enough to try. I was trying to switch between chromecast, ps4 and xbox one.

There is a button right by the blue light which you will need to push to move which hdmi port is selected. It is a manual process unfortunately.

yes i have mine in just manual mode, if you set it to manual mode it will not continue to use auto select. this is a great switch have had mine for over 6 months and never had a problem with it.

The device you want to use is the Fosmon HD1831 3-Port HDMI Switch with Pigtail Cable which will work perfectly for your application. This will allow up to 3 HDMI sources to be displayed to your TV. It also provides auto switching based on the source that is powered first so no need to have to manually switch between sources. Works great!

I have found that the switching works manually in this case since there is no way for it to automatically know which device you want to use if they are all left on. I have a couple devices that stay on as well, so I end up using the included remote control to switch between inputs. Other than that the device works great, picture quality is excellent.

this device supports 4 hdmi inputs and two hdmi outputs which can go to any device you want with hdmi inputs. associated with output 1 is a stereo output that works very well. the remote allows you to switch any input to any output. another words if you select channel 2 on each of the two outputs then the same item will appear on both outputs. when switching there can be a brief interruption of the signal while it locks up. the unit works great in all aspects. i would recommend it and get another if the need comes up.
