I understand that the BR2 cannot select the HDMI inputs, but are there codes that the BDA-3 will respond to?

I've just ordered a BDA-3 to replace my BDA-1, which is moving to my basement system. I'm wondering if I can plug my laptop into the BDA-3's USB port without turning the BDA-3 off. The manual for the BDA-1 says not to hot swap, but there is no such warning for the BDA 3. I was hoping to just leave the USB cable plugged into the back of the BDA-3 at all times and plug and unplug my laptop in as needed.

I always turn off BDA-1 to switch out ICs or pc's. Just to be safe. Takes just a split second to hit the power button on BDA.

You might consider switching inputs when you do it, toggling the BDA-3 to an unused input, then toggling it back to the USB input once the laptop is connected.

You're an American? Not everyone in the world writes English.
Google Translate might help here.

I have not run into any problems with hot plugging the USB input with the BDA-3, including unplugging/plugging-in at the computer end like you described.

By definition, the USB specification allows for hot swapping / plugging. I've personally never ran into a problem on any computer or device since USB 1.0 was officially released in 1996.

Manufacturers who may post warnings against such, are probably trying to eliminate any possibility of data corruption to hard drives or memory modules that are being actively written to while being unplugged. Depending on the OS and firmware, this could be sometime after the command was executed due to delayed cache writing.

That's the only reason Windows PCs have a USB device eject function in the system tray / notification area of the taskbar.

Loving my BDA-3.
I've had it for about a month. A few times I've noticed that it won't turn it on with the power button. I have to unplug the power cable and then press the power button and it turns on.

Any thoughts or has anyone else experienced this?

This happens to me regularly. Remote only powers up the BDA-3 about 50% of the time. The power button is also unreliable. I have to use multiple presses of the power button to get the unit to fire up.
