Does this unit have an option to only run in manual selection mode? Have two "always on" devices that I want to connect as well as a blu-ray player

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.

Not that I'm aware of. I was under the impression it was manual select to begin with but it's not it automatically goes to the device that's on.

This unit is manual selection. However, when I got mine it would not pass the audio correctly so I returned it.

I have everything going to my TV (so that is my limit on HDMI inputs). I then just run 1 optical from my TV to the soundbar.. and *any* input/sound combination then successfully is sent to the soundbar (hdmi1 for fios, hdmi2 for bluray player, hdmi3 for xbox etc)

I guess if you dont have a DLNA TV you can use the blu-ray player as receiver (connected to the tv).That would be why I would be looking for a DLNA enabled blu-ray player

I have mine connected to a Samsung HDTV and Samsung Blu-Ray player. It comes with a manual. Set-up was quick and easy. I cannot address your situation and suggest you call them directly @1-800-377-7655. They will be happy to help you. Tech support is wonderful.Merry Christmas,KFYSMAN

For DVD... yes it is automatic. For Blu-Ray, there are three regions, A,B and C with manual button push the region number (1,2 or 3) on keypad then press "power on".... no hassle. Nice unit.... very small footprint. Have enjoyed it very much.

Exactly! At first, I wanted to control the HDMI devices thru my TV but shortly realized I couldn't see the program options. You will switch between HDMI devices thru the receiver. Kinda simplifies things a bit.

This device did not work properly with a bluray player and a TV plugged into it. It kept switching to the other device even though the other device was selected. I do not use it any longer.

I have been the only user so far. I can find no direct answer in their documentation. I have never tried to connect twice though it would only stream the selected input but to two devices, 'if that worked'.

Yes, the preview and auto switching can be turned off. The preview only works when you call it from the remote anyway. Not sure about your second question, though. If you have both outputs going to the input of your surround system, you could only have one active at one time, so I don't see how this would cause it to default to stereo. Mine is working fine and I am very happy with it.

Not sure how your particular devices might affect the auto-switch function, but I ended up sending this unit back as the auto-switch would occur spontaneously. I ended up getting another unit that was entirely manual - no problems with that one so far.

Mine always goes to the last option I used when I turn it on. Ie. satellite, game, etc. I am using HDMI cables for all connections to my different devices, XBOX, Direct TV, LCD TV all connected to my Onkyo 7.1 receiver.

No on off switch. I have it wired so that it turns on when I start my car. I imagine it wouldn't be difficult to put a switch in line if you needed a physical on/off. No sync button either, the device you use to stream needs to be connected to it. I togel my bluetooth to find the unit then connect that way.

Sorry, I really don't know. I bought mine to play Blu-ray disks only. The remote has a button for a couple of on line services, but I don't use them. Hope your question hit someone who does use these feature and you get an answer.

Hi all,I just got the unit and it does switch well. I have one problem though: once I operate the source linked to OUTPUT B (pause, click DVD menu, ...), the unit shuts off the B output and I have to reset it or reselect the B source each time ! Since it takes 5s for the unit to sync each time you select something, this is getting annoying ! It does not "lock" into the setup I want.Can I disable the "smart" input recognition/crap ?Thanks.

If you're trying to hook up multiple devices at once, yes. It also switches to the device when it powers on or you can manually switch them.

in my experience, it won't switch back. I got a ROKU that is 'always on' and it doesn't automagically switch back if I turn of the DVD. That being said, you can't beat the price on this thing

Absolutely, I do this all the time. You just have to set up player 1 and 2 for each side...button wise. Sometimes changing the usb ports jacks up the settings but most of the time, they just work.
