This review is from: Nyrius SW201 HD Component Video YPbPr & Digital Audio Optical Toslink 3 Input Selector Switch with Remote Compatible with HDTV, Blu-ray DVD player, Satellite, Cable, PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS, XBOX360, PS3, Wii, iPod (Electronics)

Pros - Received it, opened it, connected it, updated my Logitech Harmony Remote (this device was listed as a device that can be controlled by the Harmony), then proceeded to game flawlessly. Once my universal remote was programmed, the device was forever seamlessly integrated into my Audio/Video center. I have an XBOX 360, PS3, and Wii (yes with the component cables) connected. Switching between consoles is flawless. With the Harmony Remote preprogrammed to switch to whatever input is required for gaming, you do not even know the box is in-line between the gaming systems and the HDTV. For the price, this device gave more inputs/types than anything I could find at Best Buy or anywhere else online (most other devices didn't come with a remote or had too few inputs, or was overly expensive to meet the specifications I needed - three component A/V inputs to a singular output, remote, small form factor, and controllable via Logitech Harmony Remotes). Very highly recommended.

Con - Wish it was black.

3.0 out of 5 stars Would be perfect if the remote sensor was reliable, September 4, 2009

This review is from: Nyrius SW201 HD Component Video YPbPr & Digital Audio Optical Toslink 3 Input Selector Switch with Remote Compatible with HDTV, Blu-ray DVD player, Satellite, Cable, PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS, XBOX360, PS3, Wii, iPod (Electronics)

In looking for a suitable switch for my entertainment center, I had three requirements: good picture quality, not too pricey, work with a logitech harmony remote. This device satisfies 2 and a half of these criteria. There is no noticeable degradation in picture quality and the price is hard to beat. Unfortunately, the remote sensor seems to be a bit dodgy. The included remote does not work at all (not powerful enough?), and using a logitech harmony 880, it only works about half of the time. The other times I end up having to repeatedly send commands to get them to register. Tried contacting customer support and got no reply at all. That said, if the remote is not that important to you, then this product will be fine, but if, like me, you really want the remote to work well, you may be a bit disappointed.

I had been looking at a lot of different switchers and this one was exactly what I was looking for and came at a really low price. It's perfect for my use as I switch to all HD and my Denon received doesn't switch HD Signals. So I am using this to bypass the receiver with the video signal and just run the audio through the stereo - still have great digital 5.1 Surround and now have up to 1080i video.
