6.1. Switching Inputs

The avedio links 4X1 HDMI Switch offers three methods for switching between connected HDMI input devices:

• Manual Button Switching: Press the "Switch" button on the front panel of the device to cycle through the HDMI inputs (Input 1, Input 2, Input 3, Input 4).

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your avedio links 4X1 HDMI Switch, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

1. No Signal or Flickering Image:
   • Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the source devices, the switch, and the display.
   • Try using shorter, high-quality HDMI 2.0 cables, especially for 4K@60Hz content.
   • Verify that the switch is receiving power via the USB cable and that the power indicator light is on.
   • Try power cycling the switch by unplugging the USB power cable, waiting a few seconds, and then plugging it back in.
   • Test each input device directly connected to the display to confirm they are functioning correctly.
   • Ensure your display is set to the correct HDMI input.
2. Remote Control Not Working:
   • Check if the batteries in the remote control are correctly inserted and not depleted. Replace them if necessary.
   • Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the IR receiver on the HDMI switch.
   • Point the remote directly at the IR receiver on the switch.
3. Automatic Switching Not Functioning:
   • Ensure that the input devices are fully powered on or off for the switch to detect the signal change.
   • Some devices may not provide a consistent "power on" signal that triggers auto-switching. In such cases, use manual or remote switching.
