Ab Work Outs: 5-PORT HDMI Switch with remote - 5X HDMI In, 1 HDMI Out Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you find yourself with more HDMI source components than your receiver or TV has HDMI inputs, then the Impact Acoustics/Cables To Go 5-Port Switch will give you what you need without a costly TV or receiver upgrade.

We did a complete test and review of this device on Big Picture Big Sound and found that it reliably switched between various SD and HD source devices, all the way up to a 1080p HDMI 1.3 source.Sources we tested included a Sony PS3, Panasonic DMP-BD30 Blu-ray Disc Player, Toshiba HD-XA1, HD-XA2 and HD-A35 HD-DVD players, a Panasonic DMR-EZ27 upconverting DVD recorder and DISH Network ViP622 HD DVR.These were fed to both an Onkyo TX-SR605 receiver and (at different times) an Integra DTR-7.8 receiver with outputs of these devices going into a Panasonic plasma and Toshiba LCD HDTV (all via HDMI).

We did have one compatibility issue when using the PS3 into the switch into an older receiver (Onkyo TX-SR674) - no picture or sound - but when we took the receiver out of the loop, the problem went away, so we can't specifically blame the switch for that.Also, with more recent HDMI 1.3-compatible receivers, the problem did not reproduce.

The discrete input buttons on the remote and discrete power on/power off codes make this ideal for use with a universal remote as you can prevent power or input "sync" issues that can arise if you have the remote out of range or pointed in the wrong direction temporarily.

Keep in mind that this switch will not add an HDMI input to a TV or receiver that has none.In order to use this, your TV or receiver does have to have at least one HDMI or DVI digital input.
