Connecting HDMI Switcher to TV

[JleeM]

Hi:)
If you've used a splitter with your TV before then it should be as easy as connecting your hdmi from your tv to your splitter........U mentioned before you didn't use a remote with the old one and now you have a remote? What kind of TV do you have? I'm thinking it's either a setting on your tv that needs to be changed or reset as it may be still trying to find the old splitters ''matrix codey thingy''

Can not connect splitter to TV as splitter cable is not HDMI the cable from splitter is USB and my TV does not have usb port?

  In that case, take it back to the shop and ask them if they have any alternative type splitters.

Bought it on line will see if I can contact them and ask if they have one with HDMI cable.

I think the USB cable is intended to be a power source for the splitter, some I have seen require a power supply, others mention battery, some make no mention of power source.

Victoria, do you still have the box to tell us who the manufacturer is, as they all seem to be called
5 To 1 splitters.

Hi Mike I think you are right about usb cable being a power supply. I have just looked at connection where cable is inserted. It reads DC5V. No name of manufacturer given. Looking at instruction manual it says;
1) Connect The HDMI input source into the the HDMI switcher.
2) Insert the DC side of 5V power supply into the switcher and then connect the AC supply of the power supply into wall outlet.( ??)
3) Turn on power.
Then there is diagram Little boxes giving instructions where cables are connected.
Dont think I will bother Switcher only cost £4:95 so will send it back as not fit for purpose.
Thanks everyone for your help.

You may find that you have more than one HDMI socket at the back of your TV .  HDMI 1.  And HDMI 2
