If the volume on the main unit is on, will it continuously relay sounds from the other unit? No button pressing on either unit needed?

yes in deed, I have one unit in my elderly mothers room and ran a long line to the main unit in my room, it stays on all the time. however, if I need to talk to her ,yes I need to press the button, the way I have it I can hear her without her having to press anything, I hear her tv on at night. good for safety reason, if she can not get up, she can tell me without trying to press a button. depending on your needs its great if you place the main unit (the one with volume control in the room where they can't hear you, but you can hear them. I have had mine for a very long time now. works as great as it did from day one. hope this helps.

If I remember correctly, you would need to disconnect the one whenever you want to use the other. I believe one of the reviewers mentioned it. I purchased this for my son & he has it set up on a separate TV in the game room.

Without further info.....make sure you select source using the front buttons because it has more than one interface type. Also be sure of volume setting because it will differ greatly between inputs.

They won't sync together where the parent unit hears both children in one unit. But we own two sets. I have one in each child room and then a parent unit for each child on the kitchen counter. They do not interfere with each other at all.

No, only one will be active. The mini jack connection mutes the RCA connection.

No. When one button is pushed to turn it on, the others are turned off. I never tried to see what would happen if two were pushed at the same time. My guess is that it would not work.

Technically yes. Reality...no. The hardware button on the unit is defective in design and therefore increases the volume randomly during use to 100%. You'll be deaf after it does. Given the premium price of this unit, you're getting robbed. I was not able to return mine. 100% of my money was wasted.

Yes. Just turn it down. There's no click or switch it just turns off when the volume is at the low setting.

The short answer is yes. Both buttons must be pressed to operate the unit. My wife says "you get uses to it, then it's easy."

Yes, they must be turned on manually. After that you can use the remote to change the volume individually. For instance, I had the speakers outside on our patio. One speaker I wanted just a little louder than the other. By pointing the remote at the specific speaker you can change the volume. There is no power button on the remote.

Not that I'm aware of. If you have it in split screen mode you can pick which one you want audio on, but it doesn't toggle back and forth while on split screen.

IF THEY TURN ON SIMULTANEOUSLY, IT SHOULD WORK... Suggestion for everyone, instead of clapping - knock on wall 2 quick times.. works better than inconsistent claps

Great IDEA for a feature, but as far as I'm aware, the "baby unit" is always in the communication loop. However, as I think about this, it might be possible to lower the volume on the baby unit to the point it can't be heard in the nursery so the parents COULD talk on the other 2 units. It's late tonight, but I'll check this theory out for you sometime tomorrow & re-edit this answer so we'll know for sure. ***stay tuned*** ----------- Update 7/23/13: Checked for you this morning & unfortunately, the "baby" unit's LOWEST volume level is still audible. So, no, you can't communicate between the two "parent" units without the "baby" unit broadcasting the sound. Even though you can talk to one another, "baby" can always hear. Hope that helped you!

I think your question is "does the device automatically switch the output by determining which input device is powered on?"If that is your question, the answer is no. You need to manually switch the input on the device to the one you want to see/hear.

Yes it's a switch not splitter so only 1 source will go through at a time and it shouldn't matter if both are on.

I can't imagine why it wouldn't. It works flawlessly for me unless I forget to turn BOTH units off when I'm done.JG

Are you planning on having them both hooked up, to the speakers, at the same time? I've never tried that before, but it would be fairly easy to wire in a source selection switch to help prevent them from affecting each other.
