• A:Answer I had a similar problem with the same switch. I got video but no audio. Rep from Amazon says that the device is designed to plug directly into the tv. Once I did that I have no problem.

Q: Questioncan I purchase a hdmi switcher that has 3 hdmi inputs and 1 output that I can connect to the one input on my LG tv so that I can connect other devices

Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer You should be able to use an HDMI Switcher (RocketFish makes a 4 port switcher) to accomplish this. Simply plug an HDMI cable into the INPUT on the switcher and to your HDMI port on your tv. Then, hook up all your other devices to the switch. It comes with a remote control so you can easily switch between devices. I have my x-box one, x-box 360, WiiU, and DVD player hooked up and it works great. Hope this helps!

  I would recommend:

Q: QuestionAT&T U-verse TVHow do I connect the HDMI cable from the TV that goes into the U-verse equipment to now go into the Rocketfish 4-port switch. If I unplug the HDMI cable from the u-verse, there's no signal.

Asked 10 years ago by Nancy.

• A:Answer On the Rocketfish 4-port switch you have 3 input's and only 1 output, make sure it is connected correctly. You would connect the U-verse HDMI cable to one of the three inputs then connect the cable to the TV from the output of the Rocketfish 4-port switch. If your using input 1 make sure your switch is on 1.

Q: QuestionHow do I use the auto-switching feature?I bought this to hook up a Fios Box and an Apple TV to our LG TV. Whenever I turn the TV on I get a "No Signal" alarm on my screen. Even if I turn my Fios box off and back on I still receive "No Signal." I called Rocketfish and they told me that I need to use the remote to change the input source back and forth. WTH??? I now have 4 remotes. This isn't user friendly at all. Also they claim that it has the ability to auto select the import source, but then the instructions say that some HDMI sources are not compatible with auto-switching. Bewarned, Verizon Fios, Comcast Infinity, and Apple TV do not support this.

• A:Answer You do have to use the remote or just hit the button on the device itself. Mine works automatically, but if you have two devices on, there is no way fort the switch to know which one you want.

Q: QuestionI can't seem to connect my monitors to this. Can I have both monitors running at the same time with this product or do I need something else? As in I'm using my laptop which only has 1 port and using this to connect to both monitors.

Asked 5 years ago by avion.

• A:Answer You're using it the wrong way. If you want to "split" your HDMI output onto 2 monitors you would need a HDMI splitter. This is a switch box. Think of it as a way to select which of your four HDMI devices gets to talk to your TV. It takes the place of plugging in your DVD player, cable box, Game console each time you want to use them. If you have more devices than HDMI ports it allows these items to share a single HDMI port.
