Using multiple devices I have an tube type TV with two sets of stereo/av ports (the ones with red, yellow and white). I have a playstation 3, a playstation 2, and a wii. I'd like to have all three systems plugged into sterero/av ports with two of them on a switch so that I can switch back and forth between the two. Would this switch do that for me? Would I need a seperate double ended stero av cable with this switch or do you get one with the switch? I'm new to using switches with TVs so that's why I'm asking on this forum board.

yes thats exactly what this is made for, multiple components all into the box and two outputs to go to the tv. you use the buttons on the front to switch from device to device

I wound up returning this one and purchasing the one with 3 inputs. I thought I needed both but didn't and the 3 input one has a button to switch between the two. My son has his xbox and direct tv attached to it with one input into the tv. I hope that helps.

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.

Yes lol. I have a HDMI splitter connected to port A and my computer connected to port B. The HDMI splitter or switch has 3 ports one for the ps3 another for the Xbox and another for the Wii. I switch between consoles and computer all the time. One down side is... It'll be cool if the monitor included a wireless control so you can switch without physically touching the monitor.

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.

You need a HDMI switch to do multiple in to one out. The splitter just amplifies the input signal and sends it out to two ports. It doesn't separate the signals like a switch does.

My splitter works 2 TV's just fine. I see no reason it would not work just as well with your 2 items provided they are working fine with a single line.

You should get the same image with no problem; just not at the same time. You have to "switch" each one to the corresponding TV. By using the switch box, you can only have one or the other, not both at the same time.

I use mine on a somewhat older Sony Bravia XBR2. It just plugs into the HDMI input on your TV, so I would think it should be okay. You have to purchase an HDMI cable to plug it into the TV, and then each device going into the switch will also need an HDMI cable. I've used the switch with a Roku box, an Apple TV, a Sony Blu-ray player and a Samsung DVD player. I sometimes have to use the remote to select which device the switch is connecting, but most of the time the switch automatically senses which device is active.

Technically Yes. These are very simple switches. So if on your first one you link this to a sound system, you can use one of its 3 import slots for the second device. As long as you remember to switch everything it'll be fine, a little clunky, but fine. All of the ports on these things are digital optical so you can really have whatever configuration you want. The only limitation is that there is one "out" port and 3 "in" ports on each device, you can't channel a signal from in port to in port. You may only send from in 1-3 to the out port.

No, this is not the solution for your needs. You neen a device functionally opposit to this one: it should have few INs and one OUT, vhich you will connect to your the only TV HDMI input. Example of one functionally sutisfying your needs could be EnjoyGadgets 3-Port HDMI Switch (Switcher Selector), 3 In 1 Out, Support 3D, Remote Control, Auto Switching, 1080p You will have 3 remotly controled HDMI inputs and one output, which should be connected to the TV HDMI input. I did not test this particular HDMI swich. This is just one of many that functionally fits your case. No, this is not the solution for your needs.

You need a HDMI splitter, not this which is a switcher. A splitter splits the signal to two (or more) monitors/TVs/projectors, so all work simultaneously.

There are a bunch more - I just picked two for examples so you can see what they are. You need a HDMI splitter, not this which is a switcher.

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.

Not familar with those devices, it is a HDMI switch, I connects the HDMI output of one device to the HDMI input of up to 4 devices. If the output device is sending a signal, it will be sent to the inputs of each device.

No this is an auto switching device it can switch between 2 inputs. It can also be switched manually, but it is not a splitter that will allow 2 inputs to be used at the same time. Example: I use this to switch between an always on device the Roku and a Blu-Ray player, for this it works great and will auto switch from my Roku to my Blu-Ray when the player is turned on. I hope this helps you out, In my opinion it sounds like your are looking for a splitter device not and HDMI switch.

Currently I have my Internet hooked to a Router, and from there I'm wired to my Laptop, PS4 and PS3. As my HDTV has only 3 HDMI ports, my Playstations are both hooked up to the link, and I can easily alternate between the 2. In this configuration, it works very well.

I use RCA cables and it works just fine. Switch back and forth between my TV and PS3.
