Customer Review: Works as advertised
Summary: 4 Stars
I installed this for my uncle who gets confused about running the VCR, DVD player and Digital TV converter. With this unit, there is one thing less to worry about. All that needs to be done is turn on the TV, and the machine that you want to watch. No more having to switch cables or check for the correct setting of a manual switch. The video quality is excellent using the S-Video input of the TV set and the S-Video outputs of the VCR, DVD player and DTV converter. The only problem this unit has (and why it didn't get 5 stars) is that the base is not substantial enough, so the unit flips over on it's back from the weight of the connecting cables. While it doesn't look good, this does not affect how the unit operates, so I still recommended buying this device.Customer Review: Good buy
Summary: 4 Stars
Got one of these for a 32 inch HDTV that I wanted to connect a separate VCR and DVD Player to, and also from time to time a laptop computer (the HDTV works as a computer monitor also) and video games for the kids. Basically the unit does what the ad says. It has 4 sets of INPUT jacks (RCA and S Video), 3 sets on the back and 1 set on the front, and 1 set of OUTPUT jacks (also RCA and S Video). Wired it up and it works fine with one minor (to me) exception, and that is I cannot get the MODE to change (the MODE button is supposed to let you manually select the input for the TV, or set it on automatic, or set it on scan). Mine came already set to automatic and it works fine, but I would just like the option of setting it to manual. 4 stars. Would buy again if needed.Customer Review: Perfect replacement for Sony SB-V55A
Summary: 5 Stars
PERFECT replacement for the discontinued auto-switcher Sony SB-V55A. GREAT product for the price, does exactly what it says it will. Only two things make it less than ideal in my mind: the upright design, and, as stated by others, the noise it makes when changing input sources. The upright stance takes up less room then the Sony did, but I don't care for the look. (A real plus is how stable it is in this upright position thanks to a base that has four very strong suction cups.) The annoying noise it makes when changing inputs is a small thing when you consider how infrequently you change from one source to another. These two "cons" are so minor compared to the "pros", especially the convenience of auto switching, that I wholeheartedly give it a five star rating.Customer Review: Perfect solution for single input TVs
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll be honest, I'm pretty lazy when I have a beer in one hand and the TV remote in the other. The last thing I want to do is get up to change the input to my TV, a 37" Sony Trinitron CRT with a single set of RCA inputs. I also didn't want yet another remote control.
This device from Philips fit the bill perfectly for connecting my PC (BeyondTV on Windows using S-Video), DVD (using RCA) and Nintento (using RCA). The video and audio quality are great.
The priority selection works very well for me, as I leave the PC on all the time. Whenever I turn the DVD player or Ninento on, presto -- it automatically switches to the device! Much better than anything with a remote or manual buttons. Great Amazon service as expected, too!
Customer Review: AV Switch
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed additional A/V inputs to accomodate 2 video games, 1 video iPod docking station, and 1 A/V reciever in to 1 input on my TV since all the other 5 were taken. This product is perfect it connected easily, and switches between inputs automatically.
If multiple A/V inputs are on it selects the lowest input number input to send to the TV. At less than $30.00 it is a great investment, and has worked perfectly since I set it up. If you nPod dockeed more inputs for your TV this is the product to buy.
Since I purchased this years ago it has found new life with my new LCD TV. Since the new TV's only has 1 composite input (RCA left, right, and video), but 6 HDMI inputs.
So I can still use my old DLO iPod dock, VCR, DVD, and PS2.
