4.0 out of 5 stars For the person who has everything, but can hook it all up., April 26, 2002

This review is from: S-video /Av System Selector (Electronics)

I bought this particular system selector for four reasons: because it's practical; because it fits the decor of my systems; and it's easy to hook up; and to help clear up the mess of wires behind my TV shelf. It is perfect for all of the above.

What I like is the fact that you can press a button to access whatever system you wish. Before, I would have to unplug one to use another. It was a real pain. Now I can use my Playstation, DVD, VCR, N64, and Gamecube anytime I wish. Hooking everything up was a breeze, since all the jacks and wires are color coded. It even comes with name panels with all the newest systems, so if you are thinking of buying an Xbox, you can have a nice name tag for it over the selector button.

Overall, this is a quality product that make sense of an otherwise crazy set up of multiple systems and media players. A good buy.

Yes, you CAN use RF Adapters instead of a switcher, but why would you? RF = lowest possible Audio and Video quality. SVHS and RCA Audio jacks = Awesome picture and sound.

I bought this because I run my games through my home theater reciever. And between me and my roommate, We have DVD, VHS. PSX, Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube and XBox. We had to constantly switch the plugs in the back. This solved all my problems and it also comes with little tabs labelled "XBox" "PS2" etc, so you can label the switches to what matches. Now all my game systems only use ONE input on my reciever.

Price to Performance/Features ratio, it can't be beat

5.0 out of 5 stars For hardcore entertainment freaks only., March 24, 2002

This little device is perfect for anyone with more than one system and a TV with only one set of imput jacks. It allows for up to 5 systems/DVD players/vcrs to be connected to your tv at the same time.(Mine has a PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, VCR and a DirecTV receiver hooked up to it.) Also it comes with interchangeable labels for every major system on the market so you can keep track of what is hooked up where. My only beef is that it does not come with a cable to hook the box to the TV so be prepared to shell out a few extra bucks. Overall this is a well made product that does exactly what its supposed to do.
