the switch to each of the HDMI® enabled display devices (i.e. televisions, projectors).

Ports on each video source device (i.e. computers, Blu-ray Players).

Hardware Operation

Mode Selection

Change the mode selection switch to select your desired operation mode. Instructions

for operating each mode are listed below:

Manual Mode

Using Manual Mode both displays show whichever port is selected.
1. Press the Manual switch to switch between input devices from 1 to 2.
2. The LED Port selection Indicator will light as video sources are toggled indicating

which port is selected.

Priority Mode

Using the Priority switch feature, you can automatically switch between which

video source is displayed on both screens simply by turning off and on the devices

connected to the prioritized ports.
For example: If you typically watch TV through your Cable or Satellite set top box,

but sometimes watch movies on your Blu-ray player. You can connect your set top

box to Port #1, and your Blu-ray player to Port#2. When the Blu-ray player is turned

on to watch a movie the HDMI® switch will automatically switch to the Blu-ray player.

When the movie is over, simply turn off your Blu-ray player and the HDMI® switch will

automatically switch back to your set top box.

Automatic Mode

Using Automatic mode both displays will automatically switch to the most recently

activated device. For example if you are watching TV and would like to watch your

Blu-ray player, simply turn your Blu-ray player on. To switch back to the TV you can

turn the Blu-ray player off, or switch the TV back on after being switched off when the

Blu-ray player is active.
