Are HDMI cables hot swapable?


Anyone have a definitive answer on this?

Every manufacturer I am aware of tells you to power down everything when making or breaking any connections. I don't have anything using HDMI so I am not certain about it. What does your manual say? Personally, I would never do it hot, the risk seems too great. If it is that hard to turn off everything for you, and you don't mind taking that risk, by all means do it hot. Good luck with warranty if you blow something up doing it hot.
