Question: Power never comes on in any outlet - all HDMI cables plugged in are good and in the right holes. Is it just defective?
Document: This thing is going right into my trashcan.Install was straightforward, but try as I might, after power cycles, different cables, everything I could think of, this thing never worked with HDCP protected content.
This switch works perfectly with a Playstation 3 and a Playstation 4 plugged in. I had purchased a cheaper model on Amazon that would not work with either of the Playstations, or my Satellite receiver. Not sure if that one was defective or just nuance of the model. The Kinivo switches automatically on power-up of one of the PS's; or with remote.
This thing works. Not only that, but it's better than plugging your electronics right into the TV or a receiver as far as making using your entertainment system easier and more convenient. Once everything is plugged in through this HDMI switch, when you turn a new source on, it automatically goes to that source. Selecting the source is a really nice step to be able to remove. It comes with a remote, but I rarely have a cause to use it.
I had an 'automatic' HDMI switch once and it never worked right. This was it's replacement and works a million times better.First, it has a remote which is a very welcome change from what I was used to. The form-factor is small, simple, and unobtrusive and a nice white color (which is nice considering that if I had one more large dark remote to keep up with I would lose my mind).I have my WDTV, BluRay, and Directv box plugged into this little guy.
This product is so good you don't even have to use the remote control that comes with it. What ever it is that you turn on that's plugged into this box, it automatically senses it and in three to five seconds contact is made and you're free to get started. I tucked my box out of sight and it's just like every thing i got is plugged directly into my TV, but of coarse it's not. I would recommend this product to anyone who doesn't have enough HDMI inputs like i didn't.
Here was my situation...Plasma TV with sound bar. I had the satellite receiver plugged into the sound bar and the sound bar plugged into the TV, all via HDMI. This worked great. Then I added a Bluray player and x-box. I couldn't take advantage of the sound bar without swapping cables. I thought about buying a audio receiver and was shocked by the sticker price. Along comes this device.I am now able to take advantage the sound bar with all my devices.
I received a HDMI switch from Best Buy with my TV which was junk, so I returned it and got this one. Great product. I never have to use the remote for it. If you put the cables in the right order, you should be able to have it auto switch to whatever you just turned on. Great Product, worth the money.
I have been using this product for about 10 months. It worked perfectly in the beginning. Now the sound will stop working on occasion when I change devices so I have to unplug the power cord for a few seconds and then plug it back in again. It doesn't affect my usage that much since I never leave the HDMI cable going to my laptop plugged in all the time (tripping hazard).
well I use this for my PS3 right now, I pluged all the HDMI cables in and it did not work at all,so to see if the hdmi cable was working I plugged it straight into the PS3 and it worked. I had to hook everything up to the device then I had to unplug it and plug it back in to get working. Should not have to do that and in the manual it did not tell me to do that anywhere.
The Kinvio was so easy to set up! Right out of the box, I had it set up in under 5 minutes. I plugged my Apple TV, DVD player and Wii U in 3 of the inputs, used one of my extra HDMI cables to plug the unit from the output into one of my 2 HDMI ports on my tv. Plugged it into the wall and was done! Super easy, the remote works great too! Not a single problem.
Answer: Sounds like it is.  Does it light up when the power cable is plugged in?
