Saved me from returning the device. I thought you had to use the supplied power cord and when its plugged into a power source it doesn't work. thankfully I stumbled on your video. helped a lot thanks !!
If you are using this to power your PS4 please use the usb cable to power the hdmi Switcher because if you don’t your screen will flicker from what your playing to Black every ten seconds. Thanks for the info Vince, this proved very handy.
That's great Vince, thanks. I had connected it up correctly but I needed your video to show me that I needed to then go to the TV remote to put it to HDMI 1. So simple now you've explained it.
Thank you, Vince, I just purchase one that is pretty much identical to yours from Amazon. It looks like I am the 1st one to buy so it is nice to know my money was not wasted!!. I hope this comment can be read because something is wrong with either my keyboard or TH-cam's printing (all garbled). Anyway thanks again!
For a retro gamer and a collector who also likes to play all of his games, this boi is AWESOME. I picked up some AV to Hdmi adapters and i made my ultimate gaming setup possible.
When I plugged my nintendo switch into my hdmi switcher, it doesn't work even though my PC works with it. any help? EDIT: I got it to work by turning off the "HDMI Auto Switch" feature on my BenQ monitor.
And your BenQ monitor was plugged into what? Your Switch or the PC? I'm having the same problem. PC has two displays connected to it. BenQ monitor using DVI and HDMI to TV (using Switcher like in the video). PS4 goes to the Switcher too using HDMI but TV only reads the PC and not the PS4. It used to work fine before but we moved, changed our setup and got a newer TV so I'm wondering what's wrong.
Thanks, my TV already had a HDMI switch but while fault finding a problem with the sound bar the connections got mixed up. All OK now as the output to the TV is in the right socket now! Many thanks
Thanks Vince, I'm planning on buying a monitor that got a 2.0v HDMI port. All HDMI switches in my budget are 1.4v. Do you think the coupling goes fine ?
Hell yeah, I already knew of these hence looking on TH-cam for a reliable one with a remote, so your link is much appreciated bro! And showing the reliability too. Thanks
It really helps to see it in action and expain in detail about it. You do it the way it should be done. Have seen some "info vids" that attempt to type on screen about it while playing loud music in the background (whic is also distracting). Great job!!!!!!!!!
Amazing video mate. I have the same device, I could get the hdmi working but my remote is not working when using to switch the channels. I have plugged in the IR to the device, do I need to connect it somewhere for the remote to work ?
One question though, can I invert it and connect one input to up to 5 different outputs? Say you have a TV and a Projector, could you use it to switch between those 2?
I've got the same model you got bud it doesn't work unless I have 2 working inputs at the same time, my pc and ps4 on an lcd monitor. Is this something has to do with the 5v cable as I'm not connecting any?
I notice that you didn't connect the power adapter and neither did I on mine and the unit works just fine. What is the power adapter for? If the unit works without it, why do they include it? Good video, thanks!
Red Killer I have an hdmi switch. Works great. I used it to set up my computer to my computer monitor and tv around the corner. www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01EN64WQE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I actually use one of this on my single port 1080p monitor to plug my androidtv box, ps3, ps4, pc, and xbox360, all worked fine. though I modded mine to cut out the 5v rail on each hdmi port to avoid backfeeding on other HDMI source as a lot of them are just shared on single 5volt rail on the hub.
Did you have a cable box like direct tv? I have only 2 hdmi in back of tv... I have direct tv in hdmi1 and i have a roku hdmi in the 2nd one.. My problem is i want to hear my tv and roku apps through a older model dvd player that only has an hdmi input. Was trying to see if this switcher thing would help.
I have had one for three years. It's a very good product like you say but I never could get mine to work properly with out power hooked to it. You get one off ebay make sure it comes with power supply.
Hello is there a way prevent this signal automation to change inputs temporarily? EDIT: I found a way to program channel 1, 2 and 3 buttons to my programmable silvercrest 10-1 remote control so i can control the changes there.
I just got one on eBay but doesn't work with the one HDMI port I've got left on my TV and didn't come with a 5V usb lead. In fact there's just a hole where the usb lead should go! My TV does have 3 usb ports though. What should I do Vince?!
I have that 5to1 HDMI selector model + IR cable and remote like yours but my own works without the USB power cable. On my 5to1 HDMI selector: . Input 1: Blu-ray Disc player . Input 2: AVtoHDMI converter (connected to the 4to1 AV selector with my SNES and N64 systems hooked on to it) . Input 3: Nintendo Wii . Input 4: Nintendo Switch . Input 5: Not in use (Fully tested and works)
Joe Gee3 19 hours ago I bought the Zetta guard 5 way HDMI switch. when I plug in the device None of the lights go on. I've tried it on different outlets, same result. I plugged my Firestick into the back of the device and plugged in an HDMI extension from the Zetta to my TV still no power lights or input lights. My TV doesn't recognize that there is something plugged into the port. The Firestick works great when i plug it into the TV directly. It seems that I don't have power going into the Zetta. I sent one back and got a new one and just tried it and no luck. Its a simple device but i must be doing something wrong.
Is it possible to buy one with more than 1 output? I bought a $9 splitter from Amazon with 1 input and 4 outputs as I need to run HDMI from my laptop (burnt out screen) to 2 TVs that I'm using for computer monitors however, I've discovered that I can't set it to extend display in order to allow me to drag windows across the 2 screens. According to comments on splitter tutorials, I need a switcher, not a splitter. It shows both tvs as display 2 instead. I need one as display 1 and the other as display 2. I can't seem to find one on Amazon with more than 1 output on a switcher though which is a problem for me. I can't afford anything super expensive either.
Hi there. Just curious what would you use to make a laptop have more hdmi ports? I have a dual monitor and laptop working. But my laptop hdmi port is taken because it’s being used for the monitor to do the dual screen. I need more ports so I can connect my sons switch, pa4 & Xbox. Without interfering with the dual screen that’s set up.
Does this still work if I want to use a Computer Monitor as the main one? Like I have my computer working normally with two monitors but then I can switch one of the computer monitor to display my nintendo switch for example?
I bought a 3 switch version of this, as my second port on the TV is faulty. It works ok on the switch, but the remote/IR doesn't work, but that's not an issue. My main gripe is that the device switches input on power up. This would be fine, but it means when I'm watching on my FireStick, and my Freesat Box powers on intermittently to poll for remote recordings (which it does every 15 mins, as there appears to be no WoL functionality!), it switches to this! I can't see any way to stop it switching on power-up, so it's basically useless.
Hi, My Mate VINCE, great day! May I ask for your help or from other people here. I have a similar HDMI Switch with infrared remote but no DC 5V power adaptor included. I did the same thing as what you have shown in the video but the red light is stuck at HDMI 1 even if I press the 5 different buttons from the IR remote or the manual switch the red lights just stays at the HDMI 1. Please help me with this.
I just bought the exact model you have and the switch will not get any power or picture. I have a cable box from our local provider and was wondering if that would interfere with it? I also tried the USB to see if I could get power no luck. Any suggestions.
Does this thing work with computer monitors too? I've only got one hdmi input in my monitor and I often switch from playing on my pc to my xbox one and it's kind of annoying switching cables everytime I want to play one or the other.
Just got one of these but 3 port. When I put anything more than one input lose any output signal. Lights are on and can toggle between. Is it faulty or am I missing something?
You might need to add power. There is normally a little 5V DC jack on the side. Certain things like the PS4 normally need power to make them work properly :-)
Comprei um desse modelo, porém o Fire TV Stick da Amazon fica falhando (travando, cortando o som, sumindo a imagem), sem falar que apenas uma porta "reconhece" o aparelho o Fire TV Stick. Vc sabe se é problema de conectividade? Testei com 4 cabos HDMI, e não adiantou.
I use this switcher for my 4 DVR'S and it works great, my question is how do I connect a mouse for easy control to my DVR'S ? I get tired of having to manually switch the mouse.
Hello, Vince! I'm from the Philippines and I would like to thank you just because you helped with my Nintendo Switch Problems after I just bought one and I gotta say, it's amazing. My TV is kinda wall mounted and there's two HDMI ports but the other one is at the side and the other one needs a flat HDMI so I'm kinda using the one at the side and I just wanted to plug my Nintendo switch and PS3 Together because the Switch has no Netflix yet and I barely use my switch so I use my ps3 just for media or GTA V. Is it worth the bucks to buy this?
Okay, makes sense. One question. I have two PC's. And two monitors. I want to switch between these 2 pcs. But I only have one output, so I cannot connect to two monitors. Right? So it only works for 1 monitor, correct?
He notado en algunos videos que al cambiar d puerto se demora unos 2 segundos para q aparezca el sig. en la espera hay un patallazo negro eso no sirve si voya transmitir o grabar un video. Podrias decirme si hay manera d hacer q lo haga mas fluido, q cambie enseguida?
Hey vince I want to control all my consoles & top boxes from a cabinet in my living room into the one living room tv using a single hdmi cable an this device but also be able to send the signel from the boxes to other bedrooms in the house? can I connect this device to a hdmi splitter then off to the TVs in different rooms?
Hi, yes you can. Connect the consoles/Set top box etc. to the HDMI switch and then the output of the HDMI Switch to the Input on the HDMI Splitter and it will distribute via HDMI leads the console or whatever is selected on the HDMI switch to every room. The problem is then using the remotes/controllers in all the different rooms as often the signals do not reach.
I was thinking of getting a harmony hub & Alexa in each room to then get over that problem. what would you suggest to use the remotes? I know how to do the USB over Ethernet for console controllers
Instead of drilling big holes in the walls to pull threw a hdmi couldni connect this to a splitter & then at the splitter end us hdmi over ethernet adapters?

hi mate, great video I got question for you though i have almost same exact item but, connecting it to my monitor, without built in speaker and my external speaker connects to my PC via USB I'm using the HDMI Switch for my PC, Switch and PS 4 but audio is an issue here, when i switch to from PC to console, how do I keep the audio output on my external speaker? cause obviously it's connected to my PC and will only produce sound from my PC not from my other consoles, please helppp thanks!
is installing the infrared sensor hard what port does that use ? i kinda want one as i only have 2 of em one for my digi recorder and one for my switch but i also would like to use my mini snes and a tablet on ym tv as it is not a smart tv
i need an urgent answer. in my room I have a monitor and a tv. i use monitor for gaming on my Xbox and when I watch tv and Netflix I have to physically switch the hdmi cable to display my Xbox on the tv. can I use this to switch what I see on my Xbox from the monitor to the tv?? I just want to be able to finish up gaming and in a switch I can watch movies with my Xbox on the big screen
I have my set up with a hub switch. the problem I’m having is my fire stick how can I get that to be hooked up because I only have two HDMI ports and currently both of them are being used. So I’m not sure how do I hook up my fire stick without having to unplug one of my HDMI ports?
I'm looking to run a hdmi out from my pc and have a switcher so i can choose between my monitor and my big screen, will this help me? As of now i gotta go behind my pc and switch hdmi cables around
Saved me from returning the device. I thought you had to use the supplied power cord and when its plugged into a power source it doesn't work. thankfully I stumbled on your video. helped a lot thanks !!
I'm a visual learner so this was very helpful
If you are using this to power your PS4 please use the usb cable to power the hdmi Switcher because if you don’t your screen will flicker from what your playing to Black every ten seconds. Thanks for the info Vince, this proved very handy.
Yep
@Slayer slayin you're going to have to buy a power supply online somewhere, I got mine for £4 off eBay, these power adapters work brilliantly
@Slayer slayin search for a 'HDMI switch adapter' and you should see some pop up
thanks sir, whatching 5 years later but still helps
Thanks. Simple straight-forward explanation with a demo.
You’ve saved my work from home set up. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
That's great Vince, thanks. I had connected it up correctly but I needed your video to show me that I needed to then go to the TV remote to put it to HDMI 1. So simple now you've explained it.
I bought one of those on Amazon and it didn't come with instructions so I never figured out how it works. Thank you for this video. Very helpful!
Thanks.
Thank you, Vince, I just purchase one that is pretty much identical to yours from Amazon. It looks like I am the 1st one to buy so it is nice to know my money was not wasted!!. I hope this comment can be read because something is wrong with either my keyboard or TH-cam's printing (all garbled). Anyway thanks again!
if I split the screen to four displays, can LCD show me the four display at once?
@@AhmedTheCoder I know it’s 2 Years but I don’t think it can I’m sorry
Thanks for this simple video. I just wasn't sure whether the 5 volt usb cord was necessary. All good now.
For a retro gamer and a collector who also likes to play all of his games, this boi is AWESOME. I picked up some AV to Hdmi adapters and i made my ultimate gaming setup possible.
Use a CRT if you're going to use composite
Awesome this is the video I was looking for. One to the tv and connect the other things like ps4, home theater, and Amazon stick.
So this would work is I only had one hdmi port? How would a home theatre or sound bar work if you would have to switch it on just to work?
I have been trying to figure out how to do this on my tv (it only has one hdmi port) and now I understand this!! Thank you!
THANK YOU!!! Because of you, my
switch works better than ever. Thanks mate for warm sunny Florida!!!
if I split the screen to four displays, can LCD show me the four display at once?
Thank you for this video, please can this be used for live streaming with multiple cameras ?
Very helpful, thanks. Does this work on a computer monitor? I want a remote control to easily switch inputs.
I know I’m 7 months late but I don’t think it does
Explained simply and easy to follow....thanks Vince and TH-cam :)

Great video, but could you explain/show how to connext the infa red lead in order to use the remote
Thanks Vince,
I'm planning on buying a monitor that got a 2.0v HDMI port.
All HDMI switches in my budget are 1.4v.
Do you think the coupling goes fine ?

Nice review, thanks! :) I've one too, you're right, it works perfectly for multiple sources! Is yours still working? Do you use the same (since 2016)?
Amazing video mate. I have the same device, I could get the hdmi working but my remote is not working when using to switch the channels. I have plugged in the IR to the device, do I need to connect it somewhere for the remote to work ?
One question though, can I invert it and connect one input to up to 5 different outputs? Say you have a TV and a Projector, could you use it to switch between those 2?
How is the refresh rate? Thanks for the viseo
I've got the same model you got bud it doesn't work unless I have 2 working inputs at the same time, my pc and ps4 on an lcd monitor. Is this something has to do with the 5v cable as I'm not connecting any?
Perfect demonstration. Helped a lot, thanks!

SUPERB Advice, clearly explained and well videos. I followed this when I set up my HDMI 5 way Switch. Perfect!! Thank you SO much My Mate VINCE. xx
Great video, thanks for the help. My TV also only has 2 HDMI inputs. This switch will come in handy.
I notice that you didn't connect the power adapter and neither did I on mine and the unit works just fine. What is the power adapter for? If the unit works without it, why do they include it? Good video, thanks!
I hate that my TV, a fairly new toshiba tv that only has 2 hdmi ports. Wish i knew that before I bought it
I made the same mistake. From now on I definitely need at least 3 ports as it is easier to use the TV ports than using the HDMI switch.
What about HDMI switch with 2 outputs? I want connect my PC to TV and Desktop and switch them when i want.
Red Killer I have an hdmi switch. Works great. I used it to set up my computer to my computer monitor and tv around the corner. www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01EN64WQE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Red Killer , If you google HDMI Splitter or HDMI Amplifier, then you should find what you need.

Hello, do you have a guide or something? I think that mod is quite interesting.
Vince, I would like to see you put your HDMI switch in your trying to fix series. Get that faulty HDMI 2 port on the switch fixed.
Good idea :-)
I Connected Mine Into Samsung G7 Odyessy But It Flickers
Should I Plug The 5V Adapter ?

Thanks mate It worked I couldn’t figure it out on how to use it thanks dude
Hi there , nice wee video ,iv just ordered one of these wee gadgets and you put my mind at ease .
Can this be used if all my ports on TV are bad. Can I use this to hook up TV with cable? (73 years old and tired of being cable lady)
Just wanted to thank you a lot I just ordered one off of eBay you are very helpful
Hey Vince' I'm excited you showeed this! My tv comes with 2 soo I've been looking for this device. Where can I get it??
Hey, Amazon and eBay have them :-)
hello does this support DSLR camera/Camcorder?
What's your TV stand name and where did you get it from ????
I have had one for three years. It's a very good product like you say but I never could get mine to work properly with out power hooked to it. You get one off ebay make sure it comes with power supply.
David Brown I was wondering that. I got one without the usb plug. I seen the 5v input and was wondering if I need it. Might jump online and find one.
Thanks a lot friend. Very good explanation
Hello is there a way prevent this signal automation to change inputs temporarily?
EDIT: I found a way to program channel 1, 2 and 3 buttons to my programmable silvercrest 10-1 remote control so i can control the changes there.
A dumb question but using an HDMI switch does NOT degrade audio/video signals right? The quality is the same? Right?
Can you use it to switch your laptop from a monitor to a TV?
I just got one on eBay but doesn't work with the one HDMI port I've got left on my TV and didn't come with a 5V usb lead. In fact there's just a hole where the usb lead should go! My TV does have 3 usb ports though. What should I do Vince?!
Nice one works well for my sky and firestick.
I was literally watching a tutorial from a real tech company about this, but I swapped to my mate.., VINCE
I have that 5to1 HDMI selector model + IR cable and remote like yours but my own works without the USB power cable.
On my 5to1 HDMI selector:

. Input 3: Nintendo Wii
. Input 4: Nintendo Switch
. Input 5: Not in use (Fully tested and works)
can i connect 2cameras with this device during live streaming ???
How would you make a sound bar work with this? Thanks!
Does this lower the quality? Planning to use something like this to switch between consoles with a monitor which only has one hdmi in.

As long as you don’t buy a shit one, no. The quality should be fine

Thank you so much for showing me this, it’s been a great help
Can you record on cable (media) while you are switched over to Roku??
Thank you sir, your video was very well informed
will this increase the response time of your tv or monitor?

Hello, Vince!
I'm from the Philippines and I would like to thank you just because you helped with my Nintendo Switch Problems after I just bought one and I gotta say, it's amazing. My TV is kinda wall mounted and there's two HDMI ports but the other one is at the side and the other one needs a flat HDMI so I'm kinda using the one at the side and I just wanted to plug my Nintendo switch and PS3 Together because the Switch has no Netflix yet and I barely use my switch so I use my ps3 just for media or GTA V. Is it worth the bucks to buy this?
th-cam.com/video/8T0n3_HTe1k/w-d-xo.html
What about the DC 5V Plug where does the USB bit plug in
Thanks I was considering getting the switch and if I do this will help as I only have like one hdmi port and I use it fir my PlayStation
Okay, makes sense. One question. I have two PC's. And two monitors. I want to switch between these 2 pcs. But I only have one output, so I cannot connect to two monitors. Right? So it only works for 1 monitor, correct?
This product would only work for one monitor.
Is this also good for a monitor?
He notado en algunos videos que al cambiar d puerto se demora unos 2 segundos para q aparezca el sig. en la espera hay un patallazo negro eso no sirve si voya transmitir o grabar un video. Podrias decirme si hay manera d hacer q lo haga mas fluido, q cambie enseguida?
Many thanks Vince
How about a software integrity in the device to manage all your HDMI connector connections life?
Hey vince I want to control all my consoles & top boxes from a cabinet in my living room into the one living room tv using a single hdmi cable an this device but also be able to send the signel from the boxes to other bedrooms in the house? can I connect this device to a hdmi splitter then off to the TVs in different rooms?
Hi, yes you can. Connect the consoles/Set top box etc. to the HDMI switch and then the output of the HDMI Switch to the Input on the HDMI Splitter and it will distribute via HDMI leads the console or whatever is selected on the HDMI switch to every room. The problem is then using the remotes/controllers in all the different rooms as often the signals do not reach.
I was thinking of getting a harmony hub & Alexa in each room to then get over that problem. what would you suggest to use the remotes? I know how to do the USB over Ethernet for console controllers
Instead of drilling big holes in the walls to pull threw a hdmi couldni connect this to a splitter & then at the splitter end us hdmi over ethernet adapters?

hi mate, great video
I got question for you though
i have almost same exact item
but, connecting it to my monitor, without built in speaker and my external speaker connects to my PC via USB
I'm using the HDMI Switch for my PC, Switch and PS 4
but audio is an issue here, when i switch to from PC to console, how do I keep the audio output on my external speaker? cause obviously it's connected to my PC and will only produce sound from my PC not from my other consoles, please helppp
thanks!
the input from my external speaker is an USB btw, which the hdmi switch does not have as a port
Did you have any picture or audio degradation when using the switch?

i need an urgent answer. in my room I have a monitor and a tv. i use monitor for gaming on my Xbox and when I watch tv and Netflix I have to physically switch the hdmi cable to display my Xbox on the tv. can I use this to switch what I see on my Xbox from the monitor to the tv?? I just want to be able to finish up gaming and in a switch I can watch movies with my Xbox on the big screen
Ok the one I was looking at was expensive so I needed to know how to use it thanks.
I have my set up with a hub switch. the problem I’m having is my fire stick how can I get that to be hooked up because I only have two HDMI ports and currently both of them are being used. So I’m not sure how do I hook up my fire stick without having to unplug one of my HDMI ports?
