Operation

Push Button Operation
Short Press
Press the Push Button Selector to switch between HDMI Inputs 1 – 4. In Auto Mode, the HDMI Switch will cycle between the HDMI Inputs with an active HDMI signal, from
1 to 4. If the HDMI Switch is not in Auto Mode, the unit will cycle between all inputs, from 1 to 4, even if there is no attached Source Device.
3-5 Second Button Press Enable or disable the Automatic Switching feature of the HDMI Switch. For example, if you are watching TV and would like to watch your Blu-ray player, turn the Blu-ray player on. To switch back to the TV you can turn the Blu-ray player off, or switch the TV Box back on after being switched off, when the Blu-ray player is active.
6 Second Button Press Enable or disable the IR functionality of the HDMI Switch. The IR Functionality enables use of the HDMI Switch’s included Remote Control.

Remote Control Operation

Note: Ensure the IR Mode Indicator on the front of the HDMI Switch is solid blue, indicating that IR Functionality is enabled.
Remove the backplate from the Remote Control and install the 2x AAA Batteries (not included). Point the Remote Control at the front of the HDMI Switch. Press the “1”, “2”, “3” or “4” Button to manually switch between HDMI Inputs. Using the “IR” Button will disable the IR Functionality of the HDMI Switch.
Note: To re-enable IR Functionality, see the section “6 Second Button Press” under “Push Button Operation”
