Operating Instructions

The VWRHar HDMI Switch offers two primary methods for switching between connected HDMI sources:

Manual Switching (Button on Device)

  • Locate the "Select" button on the front of the HDMI Switch unit.
  • Press the button repeatedly to cycle through the input ports (IN 1, IN 2, IN 3).
  • The corresponding LED indicator light (1, 2, or 3) will illuminate to show which input is currently active.

Remote Control Switching

  • Point the IR remote control towards the HDMI Switch unit.
  • Press the corresponding number button (1, 2, or 3) on the remote to directly select the desired HDMI input port.
  • The LED indicator on the switch will confirm the selected input.

Automatic Switching

  • The switch is designed to automatically detect and switch to a newly activated HDMI source. For example, if you turn on a gaming console connected to IN 2 while IN 1 is active, the switch may automatically switch to IN 2.
  • If multiple devices are active, the switch will typically remain on the last manually selected or automatically detected active input. Manual or remote switching can override automatic selection.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the HDMI switch. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
  • Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Handling: Avoid dropping the device or subjecting it to strong impacts.
  • Ventilation: Ensure the device has adequate ventilation and is not covered, as this can affect heat dissipation.

Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
No signal or flickering image on display.Loose HDMI cables, incorrect input selected, insufficient power, incompatible resolution.
  • Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the switch and the devices/display.
  • Verify that the correct input port is selected on the HDMI switch (check LED indicator).
  • Ensure the USB power cable is connected and the switch is receiving adequate power. Try a different USB power source if available.
  • Check if your display supports the resolution output by your source device. Try lowering the resolution on the source device if issues persist.
  • Test with different HDMI cables if possible.
Remote control is not working.Battery issue, IR sensor blocked, remote out of range.
  • Ensure the protective plastic tab has been removed from the remote control battery (CR2025).
  • Replace the battery if it is depleted.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the IR sensor on the HDMI switch.
  • Point the remote directly at the switch and ensure you are within effective range.
Automatic switching does not work consistently.Device power state, HDMI CEC conflicts, specific device behavior.
  • Automatic switching relies on the source device sending an active signal. Ensure the source device is fully powered on and outputting a signal.
  • Some devices' HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) features can interfere with automatic switching. Try disabling HDMI-CEC on your source devices or TV if available.
  • Use the manual button or remote control to switch inputs if automatic switching is not reliable for your specific setup.
Audio issues (no sound, distorted sound).Audio format incompatibility, cable issue, display settings.
  • Ensure your display and audio system support the audio format being output by the source device.
  • Check HDMI cable connections.
  • Verify audio settings on your source device and display.
