Operating Instructions

The ROOFULL HDMI Switch offers multiple methods for selecting your desired input source:

1. Manual Switching:

Press the "Switch" button on the front panel of the unit to cycle through the connected HDMI input sources (IN 1, IN 2, IN 3, IN 4, IN 5). The corresponding green LED will light up to indicate the active input.

2. Remote Control Switching:

Use the included IR remote control for convenient switching from a distance (within 33 feet). Point the remote towards the IR receiver on the front panel of the switch.

  • Press the numbered buttons "1" through "5" to directly select the corresponding HDMI input.
  • Use the "Up" and "Down" arrow buttons to cycle sequentially through the inputs.
  • The "ON/OFF" button controls the power of the switch.

3. Auto-Switching Functionality:

The switch supports an auto-switching feature that detects the voltage of connected source devices. When enabled, if the currently active device is turned off (not in standby mode), the switch will automatically attempt to jump to another active device.

Important Note on Auto-Switching: Some devices, such as PS5/4/4 Pro, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Xbox One/S/Series X, and Nintendo Switch, may continue to emit a weak voltage even when powered off. This can prevent the auto-switching function from correctly identifying and switching to another active device. In such cases, manual or remote switching will be required.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ROOFULL HDMI Switch, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProblemPossible Cause / Solution
No video or audio output.
  • Ensure the HDMI switch is powered on and the power indicator is lit.
  • Verify all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the switch and your devices/display.
  • Try different HDMI cables, especially if using older or lower quality cables.
  • Ensure the correct input is selected on the HDMI switch (check input indicator LEDs).
  • Ensure the correct HDMI input is selected on your TV/monitor.
  • Restart all connected devices and the HDMI switch.
Flickering screen or unstable signal.
  • Use high-quality, certified HDMI 2.0/2.1 cables.
  • Ensure the total length of input and output HDMI cables does not exceed 10 feet (for 4K@60Hz).
  • Check for electromagnetic interference from other electronic devices.
  • Ensure the power adapter is securely connected and providing stable power.
Auto-switching does not work or switches unexpectedly.
  • Some devices (e.g., PS5/4, Xbox, Apple TV, Fire TV, Nintendo Switch) may maintain a weak voltage even when off, preventing auto-switching. This is normal behavior for these devices.
  • Use manual or remote control switching for these specific devices.
  • Ensure devices are fully powered off, not just in standby, for auto-switching to function correctly with compatible sources.
Remote control is unresponsive.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the IR receiver on the switch.
  • Check and replace the battery in the remote control if necessary.
  • Ensure you are within the effective range (33 feet) and pointing the remote directly at the switch's IR sensor.
4K@60Hz or HDR is not displaying correctly.
  • Confirm that your source device, display, and all HDMI cables support HDMI 2.0a/2.1 and the desired resolution/HDR format.
  • Use 18Gbps or 48Gbps HDMI cables.
  • Ensure the total cable length is within recommended limits (e.g., under 10 feet for 4K@60Hz).
  • Check display settings to ensure HDR/Deep Color is enabled for the connected HDMI port.
