PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Front Panel

1. IR: IR “eye” for receiving signals from the included IR remote control.
2. 1-2-3: One of the three LEDs illuminates blue to indicate the selected input with an active HDMI® signal. If there is no active HDMI signal on the selected input, the corresponding LED blinks blue.
3. AUTO: The LED illuminates blue when in Auto Switching Mode and is off when in Manual Switching Mode.
4. SOURCE AUTO/3s: When in Manual Switching Mode (AUTO LED off), momentarily press the button to cycle through the available active inputs. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds to toggle between Auto Switching Mode and Manual Switching Mode.

Rear Panel

1. HDMI IN 1~3: Three HDMI® ports for connecting HDMI video source devices.
2. HDMI OUT: HDMI port for connecting an HDMI display.

Remote Control

• AUTO: Press the button to toggle between Auto Switching Mode and Manual Switching Mode.
• INPUTS: Press one of the numbered buttons to select the corresponding input when in Manual Switching Mode. The blank button has no effect.

SAMPLE CONNECTION DIAGRAM SWITCHING MODES
This switch supports both Auto and Manual Switching Modes. You can toggle between the two modes using one of the following methods:

• Press and hold the SOURCE AUTO/3s button for 3 seconds.
• Press the AUTO button on the included IR remote control.

The AUTO LED illuminates blue when in Auto Switching Mode and is off when in Manual Switching Mode. When in Auto Switching Mode, the switch uses the following rules to determine which input to select:

• When a new input signal is detected, the switch automatically selects that input.
• The switch remembers its switching state when power is lost. When power is restored, the switch will attempt to select the last input used. If that input is not available, the switch automatically selects the lowest numbered active input.
• When the selected source is removed, the switch automatically selects the lowest numbered active input.
