5 Stars Amazing Universal HDTV Cable Connection Kit !
The value pack has everything you need and than some. Have you tried shopping around to buy them separately? Great price, 5 star vendor!

5 Stars Sweet
I just received this product and I must say….WOW. Everything I could ask for and more. Thanks Abacus24-7

5 Stars Good Value!
Great kit for the value – all the cables you need to hook up a TV to cable, DVD, receiver and even something extra like a PS3 or Blu-ray player. I only needed 4 of the cables that come in this kit, and shopping around to buy them seperately with added shipping prices cost me the same as just buying this kit with all the back up and extra cables added in.

5 Stars Kit Blew My Mind
I got this kit and was pleasantly surprised of the quality for the cost. My picture coming off of my Sony KDL-52W4100 is truly astonishing when I’m watching movies with my Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player. Shipping was extremely fast as well. Would recommend to everybody.

Belkin AV24502tt 3 to 1 HDMI Switch

If you have more than one high-definition audio-video component, such as a game console, cable set-top box or DVD player, chances are you’re familiar with the frustrating “bottleneck effect” that’s taking place at your high-definition television or receiver. Unless you have the very latest high-definition TV or receiver, you probably only have a single high-definition input. So when you want to switch components, you get up to plug in the new component you want to use.

Connect up to three HD video components with one simple box. View larger.

Belkin’s PureAV 3-to-1 Video Switch is ideal for: Effortlessly switching between up to 3 HDMI components with single HDMI connection on your HDTV Maintaining pure digital connections to all your components

Thanks to Belkin PureAV HDMI 3-to-1 Video Switch, help has arrived. From the comfort and convenience of your chair, this switch lets you connect and control up to three HD video components through a single port on your TV or receiver.

High-Definition Switching
HDMI, or High-Definition Multimedia Interface, is fast becoming the standard among video components, and is one of the most common audio video connections available. XBox 360, PlayStation 3, Blue-ray players, gaming computers, and more now require HDMI inputs for optimal user experiences. Unfortunately, most of the older — and many newer — HD televisions and receivers have only one HDMI input. Although you could spend $1,000 or more to upgrade your television or receiver to take care of this problem, the PureAV HDMI 3-to-1 Video Switch can take care of it for you at a fraction of the cost.

The PureAV HDMI 3-to-1 Video Switch allows you to connect to and switch among three high-definition, digital-video source devices through a single HDMI, or Digital Visual Interface (DVI) connection on your high-definition television or receiver. (Although there are only HDMI connections on this device, you can use the included HDMI Interface-to-DVI cable to connect and switch between DVI components.)

This convenient, compact switch offers an ideal way to connect digital displays such as HDTVs, plasma displays, DLP TVs, LCD TVs, and projectors. HDMI also provides an all-digital connection between such source devices as HDTVs, DVD players/recorders, digital cable/satellite boxes, and AV receivers. Simply select from among the devices either by pressing the input-selector button on the switch itself, or by using the included remote control to scroll to or directly select a source.

Maintaining Highest Resolutions and Standards
The PureAV HDMI 3-to-1 Video Switch maintains the highest HDMI single-link video resolution available and supports the full range of resolutions to optimize your viewing experience, including 480i, 480p, 720i, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. The switch works with all HDCP-compliant devices, and it connects and switches both HDMI and HDMI Interface-to-DVI cables.

Not much bigger than the remote control that’s included with it, the switch measures 7.15 x 0.9 x 3 inches (WxHxD) and weighs less than a pound. In addition to the remote control, it comes with an AC power adapter and six-foot HDMI interface cable. The switch is backed by a Belkin Lifetime Warranty.

5 Stars It does what it says it does
I looked over numerous types of these devices. Not very many actually do split your input and allow multiple devices to be used without some other issues. This one does. It works perfectly with no loss of detail or similar problems. Don’t try to cheap it out. You’ll be sorry. I running a BR player, PC and game into one input on the TV. The switchability is great.

1 Star Product arrived with missing parts-
I order the “HDmi 3X1 Switch with remote Hdmi/hdmi Cable 6 by Pure AV” the product arrived late with missing parts. Requested the saler provide the missing parts (or an explination) and never got a response. DON’T PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS SELLER OR YOU’LL BE SORRY!!!

5 Stars Works on long hdmi runs
I have a 40 foot hdmi run from a closet with the A/V equimpment to the TV. The Belkin switcher worked perfect. Also I was able to create macros with my RF remote to switch the Belkin hdmi source. I switch between the DirecTV HD DVR and my Onkyo A/V Receiver. DVD player goes through the A/V receiver. I had read that some brands of switchers had trouble with certain sources or long runs but the Belkin has worked flawless.

4 Stars Belkin AV24502tt HDMI Switch
Good buy for considerably less money than I was able to find one in the local stores.

5 Stars Belkin HDMI Switcher
Does everything it is supposed to do. No complaints thus far.

5 Stars Perfect
I got this so that I did not have to update my surround sound. It is simple and works perfectly for what I needed it for. It is small and matched the rest of my set up.

4 Stars hated my digital cable box
Well, I thought that this switcher was broken when I had set it up because I had no picture when set the input that my digital cable box was plugged into. But, after changing some cords around and plugging the cable box directly to the tv, switching with the PS3 that was directly plugged in, my xbox 360 and PS3 both work perfectly through the switcher. B/C of the difficulty I had, 4 stars.

5 Stars This thing is great!!
I was a little skeptical at first. I had used the old a/v switches in the past. So I was worried about signal loss. There is nothing to worry about! No signal loss at all. I have multiple inputs, but I have a lot of devices too. I hooked up an upscaling region free PAL/NTSC DVD player that also plays other formats to one input and a Playstation 3 to another. I have room for a third device. Everything looks perfect, no problems. I also have a computer with HDMI to DVI and a DVR, hence my need for the switch. Plus my component inputs have a PS2 and Wii on them.

This is the device to get. It comes with a little remote and everything. Do not buy extra HDMI cables, this one comes with them. They are a little short though (3 feet I think), so you might need a longer one in certain situations. If you need to hook up multiple things with HDMI, buy this. You will like it.

1 Star Unusable. Get the auto switch instead.
The idea is good, the price is great and most of the reviews are super. But you can get the automatic switch version for about the same price (I did after buying this) and it is super. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting what appeared to be interference in all my videos running off a WD Passport drive. I even bought new HDMI cables thinking that was it. There were bright sparkles moving across the screen in all frames. No matter what I tried, they were always there and made the movies unwatchable. After I received the auto switch no more sparkles. Beautiful clear picture and it really does switch to the active source automatically. This is the one you want: 3 Port Smart Auto HDMI Switch

by Game Infinity, currently $30 and change.

I might have just gotten a defective one with bad circuitry, but I suspect I will have a very hard time getting a refund as the warranty return insert that comes with the first unit has so many exclusions that unless your unit is eaten by an aardvark, you probably are out of luck. Be prepared to be out your purchase price.

1 Star Don’t Buy…. Does not work!!!!!!
Produces shotty picture quality with blue lines flashing across the picture.

Buyer Beware!!!! Retuned item and replaced with item tagged.

The new item works great!!!!!
