Using two high definition devices with one display often leads to inconvenient cable swapping (between an HD satellite receiver and an HD DVD player for instance). Cable swapping is the leading cause of damage to expensive high-performance cables and to the ports on devices.
Your days of cumbersome cable swapping are over with this simple and reliable switch for two high definition sources for a single high definition display.
Convenience is foremost and complete with the included IR remote; and any universal remote works with the HD switch. The switch uses HDMI cables and signals that have audio included, reducing cable clutter, as long as your HDMI devices transmit audio signals through the HDMI port. If a stereo receiver is included in your system, you would connect your devices directly to the receiver.
For even more convenient remote switching, relocate the IR receiver with the Gefen RMT IR Extender.
