TV video inputs

[Kadarin]

If you don't have enough component inputs on your tv, and using hdmi isn't an option at the moment, is there anything you can do? Does anyone make a component equivalent of a KVM switch?

Buy a receiver and get a sound system going :evil:

or

yeah, there are component switches

This is what I use, been very happy with it. My amp also has a switcher but I needed more.

My receiver dates back to 2000, and doesn't look like it can do the job. However, that switcher looks just about right. Thanks!

Depending on what HD signal you are going to use the cheaper switcher may or may not work. I had a cheap switcher for a while it was a $80 one but had problems with the signal not coming though right, it was out of sink or something, got jittery on HD content. That's why I got the A.A. one. Just make sure the one you get is high quality enough to pass though the signal without any problems. You may be able to get the one I linked to for cheaper at other online retailers. Good Luck.

bestbuy's site seems to be down atm, but here's a little blog regarding the source selector i was talking about Dealing with Multi-Console and Multi-Media devices. there's a link there to the product on BB's site (when it comes back up).

on a side note, i should've bought it at christmas when it was priced @ $100; it's now listed @ $199
