Gefen Inc EXT-HDMI1.3-442 4x2 Switcher for HDMI 1.3 Video Switcher Review

I purchased this device through amazon.

I did not own an HDMI based receiver so the goal was to take the TOSLINK out from this device so I can hear dolby digital and DTS sound through my non-hdmi based preamp-processor.

After spending hours and hours, I could not make it work to get the desired results. In talking with the GEFEN tech support, I was told my issue had to do with EDID compatibility.

If you google EDID, there's plenty to read and learn about it.

In the end, I returned the device and was promptly refunded by Amazon so I give FIVE STARS to Amazon for their customer service.

On AVSForum website, I have a thread titles 'unboxing the Gefen' so you look at the posted photos of this device, if you are interested what all comes in the box etc.

Ultimately, I ended up buying a new receiver that has an HDMI input. The reason for three stars - there was no indication whatsoever any where on Gefen's website for this product which stated that due to EDID restrictions, there maybe some instances where this device may not function as advertised.
