Description

Five HDMI devices, one TV, one remote. Switch from consoles to DVD to streaming without crawling behind the stand. The included IR eye reaches a box hidden inside a cabinet.

Connect five HDMI devices to one TV and switch between them with a remote

Solves
  • not enough HDMI ports on TV
  • constantly unplugging and replugging cables
  • switching sources without getting up

Switch between five devices from your couch

Stop crawling behind the TV every time you want to change consoles. Connect five HDMI sources to one screen and change them with a single remote.

Five sources, one screen, zero cable swaps

  • Five inputs, one screen

    Five HDMI sources connect to the numbered inputs, and one output runs to the TV. The LED for the active input lights up, so you can see which console or player is on screen without guessing. Nothing needs to be moved between sessions. Pair it with to keep the back of the stand clean.

  • Change sources from your couch

    The included IR remote switches inputs from across the room. If the box sits inside a cabinet, the 3.5mm IR extension cable lets you place the IR eye in a visible spot, so the remote still reaches the switch. You never have to open the cabinet door to change a game.

  • Built with gold-plated ports

    Gold-plated HDMI connectors and a glossy black housing give the box a finished look that sits well under a home theater screen. The ports are the part you touch every time you reconnect a device, so the finish matters more than it looks.

The numbers that matter

  • 55-in-1-out switching
  • 1080PSupported video
  • 9VPower jack

Connected in minutes, not an afternoon

  1. 1
    Plug each source into a numbered input

    Connect the console, DVD player and set-top box to inputs 1 through 5. Note which number goes to which device.

  2. 2
    Run one cable from the output to the TV

    Use the single output port to feed your TV HDMI port. Every input now reaches the screen through this box.

  3. 3
    Power the switch with the 9V adapter

    Connect a DC 9V adapter to the power jack. The LEDs light when the switch is ready. The adapter is not listed in the box, so use a 9V DC supply.

  4. 4
    Place the IR eye and press the remote

    Point the remote at the switch or route the IR extension cable to a visible spot. Press a source button and confirm the input LED changes.

From cable shuffle to one button

The cable shuffle

Your TV has two HDMI ports and five devices want them. Every time the DVD player needs the screen, someone unplugs a console, crawls behind the stand, and hopes the right cable goes back in the right hole. The game you were in is gone by the time the picture comes up.

One box, five sources

This switch takes five HDMI inputs and sends one output to the TV. Plug each console, the DVD player and the set-top box into a numbered input, run a single cable to the screen, and the cable shuffle is over for good.

Movie night, one button

Pick up the remote, press the source you want, and the picture changes. The LED for that input lights up so you always know which device is live. You stay on the couch for the whole evening.

Questions and answers

Will it work with my game consoles, DVD player and set-top box?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes, if each device has an HDMI output. Plug each one into a numbered input, then pick the input with the remote. Older consoles and players that output through HDMI work the same way.

Does the IR remote still work if the switch is inside a TV cabinet?
w
Wanelo · seller

It does when you use the included 3.5mm IR extension cable. Place the IR eye on a visible spot where the remote points, and the switch responds from the couch while the box stays hidden.

What do I need to power it, and is the 9V adapter included?
w
Wanelo · seller

The switch runs on a DC 9V jack. The adapter is not listed in the package, so use a 9V DC supply with the correct plug before you power it on.

Does it support 4K or only 1080P video?
w
Wanelo · seller

The listed video resolution is 1080P. Check your sources and TV before buying if you need 4K, since this switch is rated for 1080P only.

Is it worth it compared with buying a second HDMI port on my TV?
w
Wanelo · seller

A TV with a second HDMI port still needs cables moved every time you change sources. This switch is a one-time purchase, keeps all five sources connected, and ends the cable shuffle. It works with any HDMI screen, so you keep your TV.

Is a budget HDMI switch reliable enough for daily use?
w
Wanelo · seller

The housing is glossy black plastic with gold-plated HDMI ports, and it ships with a clear manual and wiring diagram. Set it on a flat surface and keep the IR eye in view, and it handles daily switching without fuss.
