Setup Instructions

  1. Connect to Display: Plug the integrated HDMI output cable of the GANA HDMI Switch into an HDMI input port on your TV, monitor, or projector.
  2. Connect Input Devices: Connect up to three HDMI source devices (e.g., game consoles, Blu-Ray players, PCs, streaming sticks) to the "Input 1", "Input 2", and "Input 3" ports on the GANA HDMI Switch using standard HDMI cables.
  3. Power Connection (Optional): For most devices, the switch draws power directly from the HDMI source, and no external power is needed. If you experience unstable signal or no display, connect the provided USB power cable to the switch's power port and then to a USB power source (e.g., a USB port on your TV or a USB wall adapter, DC5V500mA or more).
  4. Special Note for Fire TV Stick: Due to the wider body of some Fire TV Stick models, direct connection to the switch might be difficult. It is recommended to use an HDMI extension cable (female to male) for Fire TV Stick connections to ensure proper fit and prevent damage.

Operating Instructions

  1. Power On Devices: Ensure all connected HDMI source devices and your display are powered on.
  2. Select Input: Press the "Select" button on the GANA HDMI Switch to cycle through the connected input sources (Input 1, Input 2, Input 3).
  3. LED Indicators: The LED indicators (1, 2, 3) on the switch will illuminate to show which input port is currently active.
  4. Switching Sequence: The switch cycles through all three ports (1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 1...) regardless of how many devices are connected. If only two devices are connected, you will still need to press the button to cycle past the unused third port to return to the first connected device.

Important Note: This device is an HDMI switch, not an HDMI splitter. It allows you to select one of three input sources to display on a single screen. It does not allow simultaneous output to multiple screens.

Troubleshooting

ProblemSolution
No display or unstable signal
  • Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected.
  • Try using shorter, high-quality HDMI cables (AWG26 standard cables up to 5m are recommended).
  • Connect the included USB power cable to the switch and a reliable USB power source (DC5V500mA or more). Some devices may not provide enough power through HDMI.
  • Try connecting the source device directly to the display to confirm the source and display are working correctly.
  • Cycle through inputs using the "Select" button to ensure the correct input is chosen.
No audio
  • Check audio settings on your source device and display.
  • Ensure the HDMI cable supports audio transmission.
  • Verify that the correct input is selected on the switch.
Switching issues (e.g., not switching inputs)
  • Press the "Select" button firmly.
  • Ensure the switch is receiving adequate power (use the USB power cable if necessary).
  • Disconnect and reconnect all HDMI cables.
Fire TV Stick does not fit
  • Use an HDMI extension cable (female to male) to connect the Fire TV Stick to the switch.
