(5 out of 5) by D. Shneyder on Apr 26, 2009 (New York)Great little item. Some of the reviewers below claim the video switching doesn't work, but it works perfectly for me. I have a DVD player and a cable box attached to it, and turning the DVD player on and off changes the input to the TV just fine. I've been using it for a week, and it works well.
Work as advertised
(5 out of 5) by Charles C. on Apr 16, 2009 (New York, NY)Purchased this product last week and received it in 4 days. The product works as advertised. I attached a Western Digital media player and DVD player on this switcher and it was able to determine which player turns on first. Once I have the two players on, all I need to do is press the switch and it flips without any problem. It comes with a remote control, which I tried. Works well too. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a switcher. Why pay $40 - to $60 for brand name product?
Working fine for over a month
(4 out of 5) by klin on Feb 27, 2009After reading the previous Amazon reviews, I decided to purchase this 3 Port Smart HDMI Switch. It successfully auto switches between my Sony PS3 and Panasonic DVD Player/Recorder, feeding my 1080p Panasonic. The only anomoly I see is that the DVD flashes a code on its display, but since everything works properly I haven't bothered to research it.
Like an earlier reviewer who mentioned that the lit red LED (indicating which of the 3 inputs is selected) is too bright, I too noticed that it was much brighter than any of the other components inside my cabinet with smoked glass. I remedied this by covering it with a piece of blue painter's tape - the brightness is adequately reduced.

Great little switcher
(5 out of 5) by Wayward Traveller on Feb 6, 2009 (Pullman WA)This thing is great. I tried the one from Monoprice first and had nothing but problems with it. My Xbox 360, PS3, Media Center and DVD player all wouldn't play through it.
Tried this one based on reviews.
I receive it, and think how small and cute compared to the last one.
Little remote which I like, but I will use my Logitech One to control it.
But I don't need it, the auto switcher works awesome.
I hooked up my DVD player, PS3, and my Xbox and all 3 worked flawlessly.
The auto switch clicks right over to the hardware just switched on, and when you turn it off it switches right back,
Just remember to hook your main item in port 1, and when you power on 2 it will switch and when you turn it off it will switch back to port 1.
Great little product, the IR receiver is kind of big compared to the remote and the actual switch but I don't think I even need it. The auto switcher seems to be more than adaquate.
Very fast shipping from the company as well, arrived a week early.

Worked like a charm.
(5 out of 5) by New Cruiser on Jan 10, 2009 (Austin, TX)I followed the previous reviewer suggestion and hooked my DVD to port 1 and my TV DVR to port 2. When I turn on the DVD it pops up, when I turn it off, I get the TV. Didn't use the remote switcher...
