Recommend a Component Video Switch

[EyeOfThe]

I need a switch so I can hook my gamecube, xbox, PS2, etc into my HDTV.

Can anyone recommend one?



Thanks

I have a Pioneer VSX-811D. It cost me $300 and it has component switching.

FWIW, I thought about buying a switch too, but they were $200+ for a decent one. They are not cheap.

Let me put it this way:

Receivers with enough bandwidth to do high quality component switching = $$$$

I understand what you are getting at.

This is the nicest one that I have found.

How to know if it has enough bandwidth? What about Denon?

The JVC JX-1111 should fit your needs perfectly. I have my progressive-scan DVD player and Gamecube hooked up thru this and I don't notice ANY degradation in picture quality. I do have my Comcast HD tuner using the remaining HDTV input though. For DVDs and gaming the JVC should be fine.

Not necessarily. For instance, the JVC RX7020VBK has a very respectable amount of bandwidth, 35 Mhz, and the street price is only around $200-250. Of course, it can only switch two component sources and it doesn't have many other features you'd normally want in a receiver...

Here we go, I found the thread with some good info for you:

I had a Pioneer VSX-D711 I got from Circuit City for $179. It had adequate bandwidth for component switching.

I returned it and got an Onkyo sr600 which has 50mhz component switching for $312 shipped.
