The HM-31 makes it easy switch between your DVD player, set-top box, and gaming system using the included credit card sized remote, a button on the player itself, or let the HM-31 switch automatically by analyzing the presence of an HDMI signal. In the case of automatic switching, the inputs are assigned a priority (ie. 1st, 2nd, 3rd) to determine which source gets displayed if there is more than one signal present.
