For the most part, this does exactly what it says it will. It allows switching of X number of devices, and it does it automatically. Several times, however, I have had it switch between devices on its own when I have not changed anything. I have been in 1 very intense Xbox Live game and it decided to switch away from Xbox to the satellite on its own, even though I had not powered on/off anything. All in all, though, even though that was supremely frustrating, that's about the worst I can say about it. Nice very expensive solution to 4 devices going into my TV. =:)

I can't comment as to how good the quality of the signal is--I don't claim to be an expert at that at any level. But the product does exactly what it says it does. I recommend it. =:)

Recieved junk. Stopped working after first day. Didn't want to waste time to return or exchange.

Lasted a few weeks and then died. Got a replacement and that died too. Company sent me a carry case for my PS2 because they gave up making it. Can't imagine why.

I love the concept, but the implementation was horrible. Every time there was a bright flash on the screen, the video selector would try to select a different source and the signal would "blank out" for a second. It was unusable and I returned it.

First it isn't a game that I'm reviewing so I have no idea how much fun it is. This auto switch seems to work but be careful. It isn't actually a 6 system switch. It will switch 2 systems or 4 systems but not 6. It has 4 inputs for video/audio and 2 inputs for S-Video/audio. Then for output you have a single video, S-Video, and the R/L audio. The S-Video output only connects to the S-Video inputs. So this can be a 2-way S-Video/audio switch. The video outputs connect to the video inputs. So this can be a 4 way video/audio switch. It can only be a 6-way switch if you can connect to the exact combination of video and S-Video and you have both Video and S-Video inputs into your TV.

Unlike the older ones, this switch automatically turns to the system turned on. If a second sytem is turned on it jumps to it. There is a button that lets you jump to each system if you want to. The only draw back is that you can plug up to 6 different game systems, but two of them are just for S video with 2 RCA jack connections. It will only take 4 of the standard 3 plug lines, 1 video, 2 audio, those that are used in SNES, Nitendo 64, PS2, XBOX etc. I lucked out and only was looking to use it for 4 systems. It works very well!

Useful tool for video processing or routing input video devices with a DVD recorder. Very good price and happy with the product.
