There are also an LED’s for power supply and to indicate which input is active, blue for active connection and red for the inactive ones and no light means not signal from an HDMI. Next, remote, Runs on a button cell which also comes with it, the keys are just ok compared to conventional remotes, although it does have a click."
"This little switch breathed new life into an old TV so it can work with my new dual source cord cutting solution."
"This HDMI switch can hold up to 3 HDMI connections, I use this product for my PC, NES Classic, and PS3."
"I choose this switch out of the many available, even though it cost slightly more, because it had very good customer ratings, appeared to be of good quality, and it fit my needs for my home theater set up."
"If I’m watching cable and power up dvd or fire stick it stays on cable port."
"Originally purchase on December 31, 2015, this product has been performing perfectly, love the automatic switching and the remote. One night my cable Set Top Box (Verizon FiOS) started to reboot when I had turned off the STB and TV, which I though was a normal software push from FiOS."
"The product failed to work with my set up."

Thankfully it does automatically change inputs when the consoles are powered up (ex: put PS4 in rest mode, turn on Xbox) so the remote thing isn't too much of an issue."
"The fact that it will turn on the TV (if you have hdmi control on your tv) and switch to the correct input when I hit the power button on a system always impresses me."
"Works as advertised for my Wii U, NVidia SHIELD, and Blue-Ray Player."
"Been using this for a while now and it works pretty well, although the auto-switching can be finicky from time to time."
"Excellent switch for feeding 5 HDMI inputs into one input."
"It is compatible with the newest HDMI specs, although I have not tried HDMI w/Ethernet (I have no need in this room), also backward compatible with HDMI 1.4. My new A/V receiver is a Denon AVT series, but has limited HDMI Ports, using an A/V receiver can use inputs as a switch, although most are limited, some have signal degradation, and you are constantly having to change inputs to watch various devices or play game consoles. Using the Kinivo 501BN HDMI switch, you only need one HDMI Output, which allows the user to watch or play games on just one, using the Remote which comes with the unit can use just that one input for all 5 outputs on the Kinivo."
"Yes, not as easily as the TV remote but better to use this switch for $40 than to buy a new TV."
4 PORT HDMI SWITCHING - Connects up to 4 HDMI source components to a single HDMI input for seamless transitions between gaming, television and more.

"With all cables hooked up the power on is red, HDMI out is green, the HDMI ports lights will show either red or if selected blue."
"However, if you own a Switch and you leave it docked in sleep mode, it will periodically flicker the screen with a signal while it scans for wifi. I took a bit of frosted clear plastic and made a little light diffusing shield to put in front."
"This device was perfect for my computer, server, and PS4 setup."
"Awesome little device!"
"Works as advertised and I really like the picture in picture."
"Solved my multiple HDMI input issues."
"This HDMI switch works with my high definition blue ray."

"Perfect size."
"I read one review that said you can't fit cords with the bulky thing near the connection but I fit the Kinect cord through and the thing on that connector is massive...seriously. Reasons for 4 instead of 5 stars: -Plastic feels a little weak, but that's usually the case with plates like these. -Paint on heads of screws comes off while screwing the plates to the wall. -Kit should come with wider base plate to match wider opening in top plate. -As other reviewers have stated, I don't think you should be able to unscrew the notch so far the thing falls off into the wall. -As other reviewers have stated, the brushes will slide out during install so I recommend adding a small piece of painters or electrical tape to cover the opening on the sides."
"I ran HDMI and coaxial cables through the slot and power with the included power cable (TV plugged into the top box, and used the included extension to plug the bottom box into the surge protector). The boxes have these neat little flaps that hold the boxes to the inside of the drywall, and the fit, using the included templates, plus these flaps make for a very secure fit."
"My only complaint isn't with this - it's with my TV plug, which is a sideways plug (rather than being bigger on the bottom,like most bulky plugs). Because of that, I can only use one of the two plus because the cord can't (and shouldn't) bend at a sharp enough angle to fit a plug into each outlet."
"I purchased this along with their soundbar version as well (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HIYACAE) and the install could not have been more easy or foolproof."
"Having the ability to just click and lock the wiring together makes it seem les this is the greatest invention to hang your television on the wall. There is no point hanging the television on the wall if you’re going to let the wires dangle behind it."

"It helps a lot to start at one end and do each jack in order (don't try to skip a jack) - that way it's easy to see if you've left a wire slot empty. As another reviewer noted, the connections for one jack are on both sides of the board - two pair on the top, two pair on the bottom."
"I've used these several times, the latest being a small business install and this patch panel made it easy to ensure the job was done right and affordably."
"Amazing and the installer of our TV Internet system said he rarely sees homes set up so well and planned ahead, yeah, an At-A-Boy!"
"That's where I'm using this patch panel."
"But the desktop systems and of course the wireless access point *DO* need gigabit now that our household Internet connection is gigabit fiber."
"BUT, *be warned * the back patch panel uses KRONE IDC connections not 110 lunch downs found in USA."
"This is the first one of these I've ever put together."
