Auto switched once, then manual forever
The auto switch function worked once. Now I must manually switch it every time. But, it is better than nothing. I have an older flat screen with one HDMI port. I don't use the Blu Ray player everyday, so manually pushing the switch button it is not a problem. It would be nice if the auto switch function worked as advertised, however.
UPDATE: I found out there is a setting on the blu-ray player that enables quick startup. When this is on, the player puts out a signal constantly and the auto switcher won't switch. I turned this feature off and now the auto switcher works as advertised. I have had no problems since disabling this on my blu-ray player. I have the blu-ray player on port 1 and the cable box on port 2. That way the switcher selects the blu-ray player when I turn the player on and defaults to the cable box when I turn the player off.
