No automatic signal detection, tone trimmed ..

My pre / power amp combo does not have an HDMI input. In order to be embarrassed must not by any player device HDMI to your TV and TOSLINK to the receiver (which I then always have to adjust to the desired input), I needed something that derives me from an HDMI signal a separate audio signal. So my receiver can always be set to the same input.

This can this HDMI switch also as described, however, there are limitations:

Despite original signal in DD 5.1 DTS 5.1 or it may be that the SPDIF output only stereo arrives, and the receiver according to PCM indicating as an input signal. Apparently the cause is the device that is connected to the HDMI output. If this can only output stereo (as in my case, the TV), then the registers by the switch, and the same course only output on SPDIF output, what the device at HDMI would be able to play. If the HDMI-out ground by the receiver, the problem is (usually) no longer exists.

Another problem is the fact that the switch only switches automatically if the connected device is made completely from power, so is not in standby mode. This is very inconvenient, so can not be ignored in order to use the remote control.
I have worried for 9.95 an automatic HDMI switch from deleyCON, and set here before this. The result is that is now automatically switched, and so from the outset the correct signal goes into the Ligawo.

All in all he does now its purpose, but getting there was very stressful from above reasons. In retrospect, I would have opted for a different device, or dispensed with entirely a switch.

Wen to manually switch on the switch does not bother, and has anyway connected to the amplifier via HDMI out should buy at this price. Otherwise, I would not recommend it in good conscience.
