switch / adapter for component video connectors

[rh71]

Have a Syntax Olevia LCD TV which has a set of YPbPr and a set of YCbCr connectors on the back. My HDTV box is hooked up to the YPbPr and I thought I could use YCbCr for my XBOX HD pack, but the picture on the latter is coming in distorted - like the screen starts halfway and continues out the left side. I think it can only use YPbPr (that's what the XBOX HD adapter thing is showing - Y, Pb, Pr.

Is there such a thing as an adapter for component connections that allows me to switch between 2 YPbPr sources ? Kind of like KVM switch.

Other part of the question is... what are the YCbCr connectors for ?

That might help you.

One is a digital input, one is analog (if they are correctly labelled).

And yes, you can get component video switches.

Two ways of going about it, a simple switch (likely most appropriate for you) or a receiver capable of switching component video (a good one will cost more than your LCD).

Here's one. Check the site for automatic ones.

thx.. any cheaper ones ? Manual is ok... but what about the audio connectors on those ? 2 devices have separate audio connectors.

I would imagine you could build one pretty cheaply.

Normally I'd be against such things but what the hell, even with L/R audio it's only 5 pairs right?
