This product did not deliver it's function!, it produced a distorted picture in s-video mode. Seller doesn't cover return shipping cost & does not give an appropriate time frame for returns. I waisted my hard earned money! I purchased a SONY SBV40S for $50.00 & it works perfectly.

We use this handy little switch when we go on road trips to connect our laptop PC to the TVs in the hotels where we stay. The laptop has an S-video output, and many hotel room TVs still have only composite (single RCA jack) video inputs. So we connect the laptop to this handy little switch with an S-video cable, and the switch to the hotel TV with a composite video cable. We can make the audio connection either directly from the laptop to the TV, or through the switch; either method works fine. Then we can watch streaming video programs (we use Netflix and Vudu, but there are numerous streaming video services) over the hotel's internet service, as well as movies we have "ripped" to the laptop PC's hard disk drive. Works great!

Figured wouldn't work when it was on sale for such a low price. It works as a very basic to input one output a/b switcher.

with the cables plugged in (input one one output on the back, at the picture shows the second input on the front, the switch is on the side) I don't know how it is supposed to stand upright.

But it works fine.
