Seriously. The one for 15 bucks at radio shack that has the yellow/red/white inputs.

2 inputs 1 output.

Plug in the red/green/blue into the yellow/red/white.

Done. Its a mechanical switch, and does exactly what it supposed to do. No signal degredation since there is no processing taking place.

I had one running with my old TV where I had to switch my xbox360 and my HD-DVDR from timewarner. It worked flawlessly.

Just make sure you plug in the R/G/B into the Y/R/W in the same order on the inputs and the output.

:werd: I concur with both these guys.

I don't think I have ever paid over $15 for a switchbox.

holy overpriced rca switches batman!

I have HD cable box with component outs and a dvd player with component outs going through a $15 walmart Phillips rca switcher. Quality is perfectly fine, cant tell a difference between having the switch there or just right in. And yes I have decent quality cables too.

But I'd never pay more than $20 for some fancy over hyped rca switch.

Exactly...why play a game and use the tv speakers for sound?? nothing better than a hot gun battle with bullets coming from all directions and you can hear them coming at you

I crank the shit out of my reciever when playing.
