I've got the Amazon Fire stick, not Chromecast, but this is exactly why I bought this item, to switch automatically between the DVD player and the Amazon Fire stick. And it works perfectly for that. AND gives me the extra cable length that I needed as well, since the Amazon Fire stick cable was too short to plug in to our TV initially. So assuming Chromecast works the same as Fire stick, this should work for you, I'd think.

I'm not really sure but it could happens because Chromecast do not powered yours adapter. Try to power it from any available 5-Volt wall mount adapter (even you can use outlet charger from your cell phone) with mini USB cable connector. Check that it set-up NTSC output on converter. Regards.

The main dvd player connects using your basic red yellow and white components. So if you have the plug in for those then your good. Im sure if yoh have a different style hook up theres an adapter.

No. Just plug in the tv, turn it on when you want to watch a dvd just slide one in the slot and it automatically switches to dvd mode and plays. Simple.

Yes you can. But to enable this you need to follow some steps: 1) Make sure that you have configured and enable Zone 2 on the setup 2) The source that you need to listen on the Zone 2 need to be connected using using analog cables (RCA). So if you want to watch you cable TV on the Main Output and listen to a CD from you DVD device on the Zone 2, this device need to have the analog cables also connected to the receiver input, HDMI audio cannot be routed to Zone 2. 3) Other option is to listen on Zone 2 the Onkyo Network (Pandora, DLNA, etc) or USB Device (MP3, iPod, etc). On my setup I have connected all the sources using both HDMI and Analog (RCA) cables, and I'm able to listen any source on the Zone 2 indenpendently of what I'm watching/listening on the Main 7.1 Output. Regards.

Not only will this play a standard DVD but it also will link with other smart devices such as Samsung TVs. When enabled this was, when you insert a DVD and it loads, it will automatically switch the TV source to allow viewing of the DVD. Personally, I dont use that feature as I sometimes like the DVDs to load and play through all the previews before switching. One of the nice features that I like is that you can pause a broadcast TV channel and watch a DVD then switch back to where you leaft off on the TV channel. Pretty cool device. I use it only with broadcast TV (99+ channels) and have been very satisfied.

Yes you can. You just need to connect the main screen to a power source, put a DVD media and enjoy!

No. You have to have it connected to something that can stream video, like a DVD player or a chromecast.

Yes, it does work. I have mine hooked up to my HDTV, a Sony 3D Blu-ray player and my Chromecast. Efficient, problem-free and easy to switch between systems.

If your chrome device has compatibility with projector/display hardware, then download the Ziggi software from online site and it all should be plug and play. :-)

That won't work. This monitor has neither an HDMI input (needed for Chromecast) nor an audio out. It has one port only: a DisplayPort input. That port carries a video signal only. If you still wish to use this as a monitor, make sure your computer has a DisplayPort output. For audio, you will need to use separate speakers connected to your computer, not the monitor.

Julia, I have not tried Chromecast. This system has given no trouble at all and have it on all days during working hours. Image is awesome, I stream Netflix and DVD for clients. Even when the antennae is hidden behind the screen there is no interference or delay. Hope this helps.

It can be connected directly to dvd player, IF it has an input. Most DVD players don't have input, so the answer is no.

Well I have my uverse on at all times and when i turn my game system on just switches over automatically but won't work with my DVD player for some reason ..so I don't believe you have to have more than one devices connected to be on

Yes, it will work with a Chromecast. I also have an AppleTV and a Sony BluRay player connected without issue.
