" ... Other than having to keep track of a separate (small) remote and remember which input and output is what, this setup works fine. ... "
" ... The remote is cool, the box feels solid in design. ... "
" ... I have the remote receiver eye on top my stand with the unit in my stand orientated so I can see the input selection light. ... The remote needs just a little more range so I don't have to lean forward to make it reliably switch inputs. ... "

" ... This is nice because you don't have to flip the switch again if you want to go back to using the remote next time you use it. ... "
" ... Remote sensor on front of unit works better than previous unit I bought from another manufacturer (this IR pickup was detachable kind). ... Remote codes were very easy to program into my universal remote. ... "
" ... Nice to have remote. ... "
" ... While the remote has a pretty narrow angle in which it works, the receiver is more tolerant. ... Pair it with a better remote like the Logitech Harmony 665 universal remote, and the switch becomes much easier to operate. ... "

"
" ... I have no way to test sound quality, but with my Polk T15s and tripath ta2020 amp, I couldn't notice a difference between using this and just hooking things up directly. ... "
" ... I was previously using a cheap optical splitter to control the output of my audio signal between 2 distinct sets of speakers, but it was flaky and there was no support for 5.1. ... "
