 Product good, documentation badJan 02, 2009
By R. Allen
This device allows you to use up to three devices with HDMI outputs on a TV with just one HDMI input. It is an excellent product once you learn how to use it. There is a secret you need to get it to work though--you can't just manually switch between devices: you must use the "learn" function on the switcher with ANY remote and do that for all three inputs. (Even if you are only using two inputs.)
If you don't the device will switch between, say, your PS3 and satellite box without warning. It did that with me several times right as I was trying to do gnarly maneuvers in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Once I called customer service (it's not in FAQ on their website), and was provided that information, the device works flawlessly.
If Monster would take the time to do the manual properly or at least put the info you need to eliminate an aggravating problem on its website, this would be an excellent product.

 Keep away from Electronics ExpoFeb 08, 2009
By M. Ramirez
"calvarius"
This is a very bad product, I have bought 4 of them 2 with Electronics Expo here at amazon, and another two at best buy.
All of them have presented the following with time: the keep switching back to input 2 by themselves no matter what, weird for a monster product.
The ones I got on Best buy were replaced with no hassle for different products, however I've sent a lot of e-mails to Electronics Expo with no response, so watch out!!! Want to save trouble keep away from these product but most of all keep away from Electronics Expo.

 Works perfectly for me...Aug 01, 2008
By Jeff Kraus
I purchased this box a couple of weeks ago, because I only have one HDMI port on my TV, and I haven't plunked down the cash to upgrade my home theater receiver to one that has HDMI support yet.
So this seemed to be the perfect "mean-time" solution for me. I have my (BrightHouse) Explorer 8300 HD cable box/DVR connected, as well as my Playstation 3. No use for the 3rd port yet (that's in the works).
Since I use my Yamaha receiver remote to switch between components, that's the one that I used for this switch. I took the included external IR receiver cord and threaded it up to the rack my receiver is on, and placed the sensor right next to the receiver sensor. Now when I switch between the DVR and PS3 on my receiver, the HDMI switch automatically switches to the correct port.
Very nice. This will do perfectly until I decide to buy my next receiver.

Why sell something that does not workJan 01, 2010
By Jqinmd
I wonder if Monster even tested this design before it went to fabrication because it does NOT work properly. The only way I could keep it from going to INPUT 1 was to hold down the remote control for either Input 2 or 3. Ohterwise, after a few seconds, it would auto switch to Input 1.
I thought maybe it is confused because I am using it's output to my Denon HDMI switching receiver (it does 4 and I have 6 devices) but I dsconnected it's output and it still has a mind of it's own.
It is getting returned tomorrow.

this Item is horribleDec 18, 2009
By Matthew Short
"ms546372819"
first off this is one of the most expensive HDMI switches on the market, I bought one because I wanted to make sure it would work. Well the thing is for some reason whenever you press a button, any button on any remote it switches to the third HDMI plugged in. And if you have it switched to one of the first two HDMI cables and don't press any buttons on any remote, it will switch to the third cable after about 10 minutes. This thing is a giant waste of money and one of the most hated products I have ever owned, and the bad thing is I bought this at a retail store that would not let me return it, so I am now looking on amazon for a less expensive and all around better product.
