 Does what it is supposed toAug 11, 2006
By Shargors

This is a good product but I cannot go all the way and say that it is great because I am not an audio/video nerd. I don't have a high quality digital TV to compare signal transfer with and without the selector. I have three DVD players and a MiniDV recorder connected to the selector. From what I can tell everything works just like it is supposed to. I don't have any noticable loss of either video or audit signal. I have used the selector for 6 months and I am happy with the convinience it gives me when I switch from one DVD player to another. The selector is a passive device and is not plugged into an electrical outlet. Neither does it have its own remote control (which I think is excessive anyway). It just does what it is supposed to do and does it well.

 Video switching made easy and retains video/audio qualityFeb 24, 2010
By R. March

It's simple, it's extremely light weight. No cables included, perhaps the description says so. Just wanted to mention that in case someone was expecting it too. I bought this for my son's room to allow them to switch between a PS1/PS2and a xbox360. It does it's job and there is zero quality reduction in doing it. Perhaps this is why it's a bit of a premium price for this swithcer. I put some cabinet door clear rubber bumpers on the bottom as it sits on a glass shelf and this keep it from moving. As it is, it has molded in plastic 'feet' and its so light, it just goes where ever the cables want it too. I'm considering getting a second unit for the family room to reduce the switching on the AV receiver when using composite video equipment. Kind of an odd color, not sure why they didn't make it black or silver. It sort of matches the Metal Gear Solid LE PS3 though, but not 100%.

Worked like a charmOct 30, 2008
By P. Costa
Sony's switch worked just as described. I'm using it with component video cables, so I can't speak to the S-video connection, but it works fine with my cable, DVD, and Wii. The picture and sound are clear, the input and output jacks are clearly marked so it was easy to set up, and the fact that it doesn't need to be plugged in makes it all the more convenient.

Great s-video switcher but...May 04, 2011
By PantsuPanic
Sony makes good hardware, that's no secret. And this little s-video switch is worth the price. It's solid, works like it should, and doesn't degrade the signal passing through it whatsoever. My only complaint is that the built in headphone jack included has no volume control slider or knob. That's kind of stupid when you have say a video game console feeding into the s-video switch, then you have no way to control the volume from the switch itself, and have to use an inline attenuator instead. Despite that, this is a quality s-video switch and it's worth the extra money to have Sony quality. The headphone jack issue has nothing to do with the RCA audio of course.

Works as expectedFeb 08, 2008
By Harpoon

The video switch showed up quickly and was easy to install. I now have a VCR, DVD, N64 and WII all connected through one video input on the TV. Switching back and forth between components is quick and easy. Good Product.
