Has anyone set this up in reverse, i.e., used the switching capability to switch OUTPUTS instead of INPUTS? Line from Receiver to TV/Projector?

That cannot be done - the signaling direction cannot be reversed. An example of how this device is intended to be used is for someone who has several computers and wants to switch viewing each of those separate outputs on their one monitor (one at a time) - that way you would not have to set up 2 or 3 monitors for your 2 or 3 computers. What it sounds like you want is an HDMI splitter - that would allow one computer, or one cable TV signal box, to send out its one signal and you then view it on your TV and your monitor all at the same time. Switches switch between inputs (viewing only one at a time), splitters split outputs (viewing all at once) - and to the best of my knowledge nobody has invented anything that can flip back and forth and do both of these jobs using one device!

I believe it goes the opposite direction--from a newer laptop with HDMI to an older projector with VGA. at least, that's the only way I've used it.

Yes, set the switches in on the back as the manual states. I use DTS through the Toslink and it works fine.

In our experience this did not work because the outputs are backwards this has it going out instead of in but we couldn't find the the right one so we gave up. Hope this helps.

I'd like to note that this can actually be a feature!! In fact - I am specifically looking for a hdmi switch that DOES NOT auto sense. Can be very useful when switch is hooked up to 2 computers and turning computers on/off.

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.

Hi, I don't have an answer for your question. I only use 1 input to 2 separate outputs (Tv and projector). Sorry.

No. I only goes one way. VGA out HDMI in. Not the other way around. It sounds like your are wanting to go from HDMI out to VGA in.

I have a kind of unique setup, I have an HDMI to VGA converter plugged into the output on the switcher going to my projector. It seems the power draw was too much with the converter in the mix and there was no signal on the projector even though the blue LED lit up and I could select input on the switcher. After plugging in the 5v power it is working correctly. So if you have a setup similar to this you might think about the powered unit, I was lucky enough to have a plug laying around to provide power to the unit to get it working.

unless the menu is any option to reverse the RCA input and output, because as we discuss ... has VGA input and VGA, RCA also has RCA input but no output

The box appears to be a simple switch for each input, with no conversion applied or even available. I have never tried to switch input and output video modes, and am unsure if that is possible on this box, as S-video requires signals that are not separately present in composite video. I have noticed no degradation of video quality using the switch for composite connections. So I agree with Mr. Carlson.

The unit supports two computers switching to a single output, a projector in my case and allows you to toggle back and forth via the remote. It monitors the ports for active output devices before it will switch the port on. I have never tried this setup but connecting a monitor to the input will not trigger the unit to enable that port so I don't think it will work.

Did u connect ALL the pieces & switch to the right HDMI channel once you connected all the pieces?

I have everything going to my TV (so that is my limit on HDMI inputs). I then just run 1 optical from my TV to the soundbar.. and *any* input/sound combination then successfully is sent to the soundbar (hdmi1 for fios, hdmi2 for bluray player, hdmi3 for xbox etc)

No - this is one input to many outputs. You need an HDMI Switch - "HDMI 5x1 5 Port Switch/Switcher with IR Remote Support 3D" copy this into the search there is one showing for about $12.99 and is part of Amazon prime, it should work - here is the link not sure if amazon will let me send to you: SANOXY® HDMI 5x1 5 Port Switch/Switcher with IR Remote Support 3DThis one allows you upto 5 inputs. Sounds like it shoud select automatically - if not does have manual. THis is probably more basic but depends how much $$ you want to spend for bells and whistles. Let me know if you have other questions. Good Luck. No - this is one input to many outputs.

Exactly! At first, I wanted to control the HDMI devices thru my TV but shortly realized I couldn't see the program options. You will switch between HDMI devices thru the receiver. Kinda simplifies things a bit.

Suggestions....Does the problem migrate to a different HDMI port if you move the cable on the back of the AV Receiver? I also note that at times, the HDMI switching function command doesn't always work if I use a universal remote (eg Logitech, but it does if I use the factory Yamaha remote. Last but not least, I would also change out the cable. I have my Monitor on HDMI 1, DVR on 2, Chromecast on 3, DVD on 4. You should always put the monitor on HDMI 1.
