Can you switch inputs from the actual box or is remote usage required?

Yes, you can switch at the box its self. The illuminated lights that show what system channel your on, are also buttons. Just push the desired channel and it will switch to that channel. On and off button operates the same.

The Nyrius SW201 comes with a remote control for three (3) different sources. It is default for the first one, then, you can change to the second and third source. You can't change with other remotes. By the way, the item is very good.

You can do both. The remote only have a 2ft Max range. The actual light on the front panel of the unit is the switch u press. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can. The three green lights on the face if the device are push button switches.

No unfortunately, there is no input switcher amd no accessory dongle adapter. But, I have chromecast from Google. This lets me stream music from the optical output using the tv's HDMI port and soundbar.

The answer to both questions of your questions is yes. Fortunately I never seem to throw anything away so I still have the original box which states that both of your requirements are available. I also found a telephone number for technical support: 1-877-467-4289. Don't know if it's still active since this model was released for sale in 2007. If you send me the question to my inquiry address through Amazon, I can send copies of the box detail and the relevant buttons to use on the remote. Pinecone1a a/k/a Jim Lawrence

I'm pretty sure you get that through inputs off the remote or from behind.. never attempted it..

I actually did this and it does work. You have to make sure that you get two units that have the same frequency. HOWEVER, you cannot use one switch to control two boxes (my original plan) -- it will alternate them on and off.

Partially, do not have the input button, no way to change between audio sources

Yes you can. It automatically switches whichever way. BUT it is pretty uncomfortable and bulky to use in that mode. :)

Not sure of the question. It is a switch box only, so input is whatever the HDMI devices are that you are using for input and then provide to the HDMI out.

Yes. Just push the large button on the box changes it from one mode to the other.

No. This swich will not change input or output If you dont change it manualy.

Yes you can, but you're missing out on all the functionality, you could just buy a remote start if that's what you want

Hey, I just checked mine out and you are able to switch the inputs with the button on the unit. I have mine hooked up to my PS3 and X-Box 360, so I generally only have one running at a time so it's not really an issue for me. But, I just turned them both on and it will default to the device plugged into input 1, but you can press the button on the unit and it will cycle through to input 2 and input 3. The only downside would be that you'd have to manually do it on the unit as this doesn't come with a remote. But, unless you're switching between them fairly often I don't see that it would really be an issue. Hey, I just checked mine out and you are able to switch the inputs with the button on the unit.

Yes, that ought to work.Onkyo envisions you using this box as your main "switch" between components (in other words, no need for the TV remote to switch between inputs). For me, that means running component video connections into the receiver and then out through the TV. Too many cables! Maybe when I get Blu-Ray...

sounds like you have a defective switch. I also use it for AppleTV, a Blu-Ray player, and A DirecTV sat. box. All work fine I just have to push the button to change inputs as it will not change automatically as it is advertised.
1483257
yeah, use com cast remote to change channel on the box. The vizio remote only works on the tv

so far I can only do it with remote. If there is another way I haven't figured it out yet.

No. There is only one optical input. You may use a switcher to select the input.
