Great to have if you have multiple game systems! So easy to use! cant live wthout it
Every time I hook my Xbox 360 up to it, I get interference (screen flickers, lines, etc.) I'm going to keep looking for a good switcher, because this one ain't it.
Works as advertised with no hassle. Its nice to not have to plug it into the wall, and very easy to switch between sources.
Mine was out of warranty and the composite video started to become flaky. Turns out the plug to the video was loose. I then found out that many of the plugs were loose. So I took mine apart and found that many of the solder points were disconnected from the mainboard of the device. Completely faulty soldering.
If you are looking for a system selector, you have found it. It is a basic system selector, and will work with basic TVs, but I fear it won't work with high def TVs. If all that matters to you is that it is an easy way to change systems, and quality is not lost, then you have clicked on the right item. However, I cannot say whether or not it works with high def systems like the PS3. I guess you'd have to take a risk. But, what kind of person would play their PS3 on a regular TV? I know I would. Just buy this selector if you need one. OK?
I bought one of these at a different store and when I went to hook it up I found out that not all of the inputs worked. I exchanged it for another one hoping for a better result, but I had the same problem with the second one. I finally returned the second one for my money back and went to Radio Shack and bought a system selector that actually worked. Also, don't be fooled into thinking that you're getting 4 component inputs. You get 3 component and one composite input.
I purchased the PL-970, although my package does not specifically state it works in HD. I assumed (correctly) that it was just wire connections. The system is hardware (physical switching) and does not require power. Easy and simply to set up. Works great with my Wii and Xbox360. I saw other similar switch box options that were just over $100. This is definitely a steal in comparison.
This is a great product for a great price - but you should be aware that if you have an older tv, or a tv that doesn't have multi-video mode capability (video 1, video 2, etc.) you will not be able to use the front Input 4 - so you can only actually use it for 3 peripherals, which is a bit annoying for me.
Before we picked up our Xbox 360, we were already maxed out on the input ports of our home theatre system. This device, though, helped us piggyback our 360 in with our Playstation 2 connection with no noticeable loss of quality. It has both component and composite inputs (great if you have multiple devices with more than one output type), as well as interchangeable labels for each input. It's all mechanical, so there's no power connection necessary.
The one way it could have been better would have been if it included optical audio ports, but I understand that is much more complex technology and requires more expensive components. Aside from that, though, it has worked absolutely perfectly for me!
