Are the inputs prioritized? If I have a constant on device plugged into input 3 and the then turn on a device at input 1 will it auto switch to it?

Yes, it will. I tried it and it works great. But I'm not sure by what you mean of a constant on device? I mean you don't have a TV on 24-7 do you?

To expand a little on these answers, you can use the switch on the device to switch among the three inputs, but the device works automatically in that the last of the three ports/inputs activated is what will plays/shows on your TV. Note that if you have more than one HDMI input on your TV, you need to use your TV's input control to select the input to which this Fosmon switch is connected.

No, it has to be switched by the device itself. The device is only a pass through switch. Device is reliable and have been used frequently.

The unit will automatically switch to a powered input source IF there is only one powered input of up to three. If there are more that one powered input then you must manually push the selector button to select the source of interest.

Possibly. Try this first. Plug in just one device at a time and see which one it auto-detects. And try it on all 5 ports on the switch. If its working for some devices then it may be a power issue. On the other hand, if only certain ports on the switch auto-detects, then its probably defective.

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.

The switched did'nt worked properly for me so I'm not able to answer your question. Sorry.

Yes it is. I have both an optical input and a USB input and I am able to switch between the two. Occasionally, I have to switch it off to get the signal light, but that's only happened a couple of times. I cannot answer as to how it responds if you have all 3 inputs in, as to whether it only selects the one that is "on".

I expected it to be automatic, but it is not. I have to press a button to switch between the three inputs.

Yes. When you press the switch button it switches video/audio/USB between two inputs. If you have nothing plugged in for video/audio it still works. Note that USB does have to be plugged in to power the device.

You only need to use the adapter. No need to switch settings. It does it automatically.

I purchased this switch, it states it is an auto-switch. It did not auto switch, recommend you get a Cable Matters version of this switch it does auto switch to the most recent powered on device. To answer you question, Yes I installed a cable matters switch at a friends house with a blu-ray, Fire TV, and Fios Box and it works great.

It's supposed to change to the device you are using- you probably just want to set another device as the default - also you can manually override anytime you need to

You need to select the input for the device first. It does not have auto detect as far as I can tell but usually goes to the last selected input when powering back up.

Mine switches automatically. It reads one device. If you turn on another one, that one takes over. When you turn it off it goes back to the original one, or you can leave both devices on and use the remote to switch between the two. One of my two HDMI inputs on my tv stoped working, so this works great for me.

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.

mine always goes to whatever settings the source is set to. does yours always turn every tv in the house on when you switch sources?
