Auto Switching
Automatic Input Selection
When the 301BN Switch is powered on for the first time,
it senses input ports automatically and switches to the
input port source automatically in the sequence 1 › 2 ›
3. It bypasses input ports without signal. When a new
device is turned on, the Switch automatically selects
that input. For example, if cable box is powered on, the
HDMI Switch will automatically switch to the cable box.
Turn the currently selected device off and the Switch
automatically selects the next higher numbered input
that has an active signal (1 › 2 › 3...)
While Auto Switching is a convenient feature, it will
not work with every HDMI input device, unfortunately,
because some cable TV boxes, streaming devices, game
consoles, and similar devices don’t ever really turn off
their HDMI signal, even when they appear to be turned
off or asleep. These devices transmit a blank HDMI signal
or black screen to the TV through our switch, even when
asleep or turned off.
