How Do I Set Up an HDMI Switch?
If you already have experience connecting various devices to your television via HDMI, then you already know most of what you need to know to set up an HDMI switch.
How Do I Get My HDMI Switch to Work?
For modern HDMI switches, nearly every model is plug-and-play, meaning it should work out of the box. As long as you make the correct connections between the device, the switch, and the television, it should work without any further work from you. If you’re still having problems, you may want to check how each cable sits in each port. A loose cable can cause connectivity issues, so ensure they’re flush with the port. If all of the wires are snugly connected at all points, then you may have other issues to consider, such as a bad HDMI port or bad HDMI cables. Once you’ve rectified any issues, all you need to do is either manually or remotely select a port and switch your TV over to the port that the HDMI switch is connected to. You should be able to begin using the Blu-Ray player or gaming console you connected.
How Do I Switch from HDMI to TV?
Switching from your HDMI switch to your television is the same way you typically switch inputs. Your TV remote will have an “input” button on it that you can use to flip back and forth between your live TV connection and the HDMI switch.
