The switch, which has its own power source, apparently is feeding back into the player, causing it to malfunction. My other input source, a hi-def tuner, works okay with the Terk unit, but not the Samsung player. It switches fine, just as it's supposed to. Whether it's the switch or the player that's at fault, who knows, but they don't seem to be compatible with each other. Rather disappointing. I bought this switch at the same time I bought a new Samsung Blu-ray player. The player, when connected directly to the TV by HDMI, works beautifully, but when connected through this switch, presents a black image with static and audio that "lurches" forward.
I don't have to worry about putting manually switching because it reads the newest unit to be turned on.everytime. I ordered the TERK HDMI switcher and I have to say that it has worked perfectly.I have an LG Plasma, Time Warner HD Box and a Playstation 3. The switcher will go to which ever unit I turn on last.
I wind up having to change the channel manually. The switch itself is fine. The problem is that too many components do not recognize it or that the switch doesn't recognize them, I don't know which.
If you order it, be sure you have some extra HDMI cables. This product came fast and worked as advertised. I have not had to manually switch even once. I do not have all 3 ports connected, but the 2 I do have switch just fine. I have a Panasonic BD30 and a Linksys DMA2200 attached to this and it switches perfectly between the two and connects to an Onkyo TX SR 605. Not one hiccup in the month that I have been using the product.
I will keep it but it did not live up to my expections. A good idea that works on manual, but I paid extra for the automatic switching properties. I wish they had just said that this will NOT work with dvr, which I guess are on all the time, I would have bought a manuel switch.
