IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before setting up and starting your snakebyte HDMI Selector please read this manual thoroughly.
If you comply with all instructions and tips, operating the selector is pretty easy and comfortable.
Please retain this manual for future reference.
If you don’t want to lose your warranty please refrain from opening the HDMI selector – there are
no user serviceable parts inside anyway. Inappropriate handling does invalidate the warranty and
often leads to utter demolition of the device. Therefore, any repairs have to be carried out by the
customer service exclusively.
Never use another power supply than the one in scope of delivery. Utilization of third party power
supplies invalidates the warranty – no matter what damage is done to the selector.
Keep your snakebyte HDMI Selector away from liquids and liquid containers such as vases,
bottles, hot baths, jacuzzi tubs, etc. Besides the mortal danger, any damage occurring from liquids
invalidates the warranty.

If you want to go deeper into the matter of HDMI we strongly recommend visiting the official home
page of the HDMI licensing LLC www.hdmi.org. There you’ll find lots of information on the HDMI
Founders and hundreds of HDMI Adopters plus many useful further facts.
What does my snakebyte HDMI Selector do?
The snakebyte HDMI Selector is the perfect solution when you want to connect more than one
HDMI source (such as a DVD, HD DVD, or Blu-ray Disc™ Player, e.g. the Playstation®3) to a single
HDMI receiver, i.e. a Plasma or LCD TV, a video projector, or an AV receiver. Additionally, the really
annoying crawling behind dusty racks and shelves to unknot your cables and reconnect your
hardware will be history. Besides the immense gain in convenience, your expensive connectors,
sockets and jacks will therefore suffer less mechanical load.
Furthermore, the snakebyte HDMI Selector features a powerful signal equalizer that provides for
highest signal quality even with a cable length of more than 10 m. (This is an approximate value
measured in our technical labs. This value can differ depending on different bandwidths and the
