Setting up your switcher

  1. Using high-speed HDMI cables, such as Rocketfish brand HDMI cables, connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI port on each source devices, then connect the other end of each cable to one of the HDMI INPUTS on your switcher
  2. Connect a high-speed HDMI cable from an available input on your HDTV (or projector) to the HDMI OUTPUT of your switcher.
  3. Connect the AC power adapter to the DC power connector on your switcher,

In addition to the exibility of additional HDMI inputs, this product also provides automatic HDMI port switching. The included remote control is for manual HDMI port switching when needed.
Setting up your switcher

NOTE:
If you want to watch 3D video, make sure that your TV or projector supports the same HDMI 3D video format as your source. A 3D image cannot be delivered to a TV or projector that does not support 3D video formats. You also need to use HDMI cables that are compatible with 3D video, such as Rocketfish high-speed HDMI cables.

Using your switcher

  1. Press the POWER button on the remote control or press and hold the POWER/SELECT button on your switcher for at least two seconds. The power LED lights red.
  2. Turn on your TV or projector, then switch to the HDMI input that your switcher is connected to. If you are uncertain how to do this, see the documentation that came with your TV or projector.
  3. Turn on the HDMI device that you want to view. The auto-switching feature of your switcher should automatically switch to that input, and the corresponding LED lights green. However, some HDMI source devices are not compatible with auto-switching technology. If needed, press the number on the remote control you want to switch to, or repeatedly press the POWER/SELECT button on your switcher to toggle through the HDMI inputs until the correct input is selected and the corresponding LED indicator lights green.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Possible solution

LED are not on or lit

  1. Make sure your switcher is plugged in and turned on.
  2. Make sure that all the devices are plugged in and turned on.
  3. Make sure all cables are securely connected to the device and the switcher.

No video and/or audio

  1. Make sure that your DVD movie is original. HDMI includes HDCP copy protection, which prevents playback of illegally copied movies.
  2. Make sure that the HDMI cable is not broken and is securely connected.
  3. Make sure that the audio and video formats of the content being used (such as a Blu-ray disc) are supported by the source and destination devices you are using.
  4. Make sure that your TV or projector is set to the input that the switcher is connected to.
  5. Make sure that you are using high-speed HDMI cables for all connections. We recommend high-quality Rocket sh HDMI cables, available at your local Best Buy or Future Shop stores in lengths from 4 to 24 feet.
  6. Unplug the HDMI switcher's AC power adapter, then plug it back in again.
  7. Make sure your switcher is plugged in and turned on.
