However, the product has a major design flaw that forced me to return it. When the video content changes from dark to bright scenes this switch loses the video signal, resulting in a blank screen with "no signal". It loses the signal for ~10-60 seconds before it re-syncs and recovers. This issue occurs randomly during movies, games, sporting events but happens 1-2 times during almost every commercial break (black screen just before each commercial). Sometimes more than a minute of game action will happen before the switch can recover. It seems the engineers of this product couldn't bother to simply watch TV for 10 minutes to make sure their design actually worked.....poor effort.
Check the reviews as others have run into this problem as well. Also keep in mind that this product seems to be branded under many different names (Monoprice, Dynex, Startech, etc.). If you check the reviews you'll see others having the same issue.
I ended up buying the GE 73344 4-Way Switch for Video Electronic Component and now my setup works flawlessly. Doesn't have a remote, but is a simple toggle switch that works! It's for sale here and can be found for $20 at Home Depot.
The only complaints that come to mind are that it didn't come with a set of cables to connect the box to the TV. The other complaint I have is that instead of supplying that cable they included a remote to operate the switch box--but we always use the buttons on the box itself. I can't comment on the remote's construction or functioning, as I've yet to use it, and don't even know where I left it after opening the box.
Still, it works great without it--just make sure you have a set of component cables lying around when you buy this!
What took me so long to get it set up was the complexity, I think. Make sure your cords do not tangle with each other and hook up and test ONE thing at a time. But I am thrilled with the quality of the sound which is far better than with the old unit with much more differenciation between instruments. I run all music through this and use the laptop to play it so improved music is very much a plus.
With the warning that you need the right cables (three video ends and the two audio) I'd reccomend this. There may be others with more bells and whistles out there, but this one for the price is very good.
-1 star because the IR is more sensitive than any of my other devices to line-of-sight. I need to have the remote pointed right across from the switch in order for it to respond. My TV, blu ray, and others all work a little better than this switch if the remote happens to be pointed at a little bit of an angle.
Each of the 4 inputs and the outputs have: 3 component jacks, 2 analog audio jacks, and 1 Coaxal digital audio jack. It does not support Toslink (optical), but I knew that up front. The coaxal is better anyway! Description says "Digital Aduio (or Stereo audio)", but it actually does both at once. This is useful as some of my devices have digital and some do not. My receiver automatically switches to analog inputs when there is no signal on the digital, as most do.
