Operation
HDMI Input Indicators
The 360BNT Switch has three HDMI Input indicator
lights on its front panel. When the Switch senses audio/
video transmission on one of its HDMI Input ports, the
corresponding HDMI Input Indicator is illuminated in

Kinivo 360BNT HDMI Switch with Toslink 13
Red color. When an HDMI Input is selected for use, the
corresponding HDMI Input Indicator is illuminated in
Blue. The HDMI Input Indicator is not lit when there is no
input signal or no HDMI cable is connected.
Input Selection with the Front Panel
Button
To select an HDMI input, press the‘SWITCH’button on the
front panel of the HDMI Switch. Each press of the button
progresses to the next active HDMI Input. Signal from
the selected HDMI Input is sent to the Output port and
its corresponding HDMI Input Indicator is illuminated in
Blue.
Input Selection with the Remote Control
There are also direct input selection buttons on the
remote control (Buttons 1, 2 & 3). Pressing each button
selects the corresponding HDMI Input port, no matter
whether the port has an active input signal or not.
ARC
Enable or Disable ARC
To enable or disable ARC, press the“ARC/Auto Switching”

Kinivo 360BNT HDMI Switch with Toslink
14
button on the front panel of the Switch. The ARC LED will
turn Blue when enabled.
Note: ARC is enabled by default.
Auto Switching
Automatic Input Selection
When the auto switching is turned on on the
360BNTSwitch, it senses input ports automatically and
switches to the input port source automatically in the
sequence 1 › 2 › 3. It bypasses input ports without signal.
When a new device is turned on, the Switch automatically
selects that input. For example, if you power on your
cable TV, the HDMI Switch will automatically switch to
the cable TV. Turn the currently selected device o and
the 360BNT Switch automatically selects the next higher
numbered input that has an active signal (1 › 2 › 3...)
While Auto Switching is a convenient feature, it will
not work with every HDMI input device, unfortunately,
because some cable TV boxes, streaming devices, game
consoles, and similar devices don’t ever really turn o
their HDMI signal, even when they appear to be turned
o or asleep. These devices transmit a blank HDMI signal

Kinivo 360BNT HDMI Switch with Toslink 15
or black screen to the TV through our switch, even when
asleep or turned o.
Here is a list of popular devices that do not support Auto
Switching:
Amazon Fire TV
Apple TV (all generations)
Roku
Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X
Enable or Disable Auto Switching
Note: The Auto Switching function is enabled by default
and the “Power” LED will emit a Blue light.
1. To disable the Auto Switching function, press and
hold the “Switch” button on the front panel of the
switch for approximately 3-5 seconds. The “Power”
LED will turn Red.
2. When enabling the Auto Switching function, press
and hold the “Switch” button on the front panel
of the switch for approximately 3-5 seconds. The
“Power” LED will turn Blue.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What do I do if I have a HDCP error?
HDCP errors are usually caused by syncing/
handshake issues.
Simply unplug all your devices from the Switch.
Unplug the Switch from the power source.

Kinivo 360BNT HDMI Switch with Toslink 17
Replug all your devices and restart the entire set up
again. This should help resolve the issue.
2. What do I do if my switch is not
working or there is no audio?
Steps to diagnose the device:
Ensure all HDMI cables are completely inserted into
the Switch. Loss of connection can cause issues.
Make sure that the HDMI cables are working. Try a
dierent HDMI cable to check if cable is the issue.
Ensure input devices are powered on.
Test with just one input device to diagnose. Check
if the input device works directly with the TV. This
will also help verify the HDMI cable. Try pressing
the input number on the remote corresponding to
where the input is connected.
3. What do I do if Auto Switching is not
working as advertised?
Refer to the “Auto Switching” section page. If none
of the steps in the “Auto Switching” section resolve
the issue then please contact customer service
using the information provided at the end of this
user manual in the “Online Support/Contact Us”
section on page.
