Can this switch support both component and composite devices? I have a DVD which is component and a VCR which is composite. Some switch boxes require all component or all composite devices - you cannot mix the two.

Hey my Friend, Thanks for your imput. Just want to get a clear understanding about HDMI and Composite connection differences. My HDTV is 3 years old with composite only connection. Will HD DVD give me 1080i reception capabilty. I now have the Dish 622 reciever and get HD quality no problem. Simply put does the Toshiba HD-A1 HDDVD player have composite connections along with HDMI. Hope I've made myself clear enough. Thanks Much ... RD

Yes you can. This TV has two HDMI inputs plus a shared component/composite input. The HDMI is best if your DVD player has an HDMI output. If the player only has composite and component, then the component output would be the next best choice. The component/composite shared input allows for either a component or composite connection, but not both at the same time. If you are using composite, plug the cable into the green input.

If your video switcher software accepts composite plugs then it should work.

as far as I know they are not hybrid component connections. you will need to get a component cable for your wii. with my wii I had to go through a few cables before I found one that would work with this device.

I originally used the composite/av to hook up a Fire TV. I had never thought to hook up my computer using the HDMI cable. I just hooked up my laptop using the HDMI cable and the composite/av. I'm now able to use my tv screen as a computer monitor. The set-up worked great. There is some loss of definition since the converter switches the signal from Hi-def to Standard def. Also, make sure you have a USB cable in addition to the HDMI cable, since you need to have both plugged into the HDMI to Composite converter, otherwise the converter won't work. Hope this is helpful.

no problem. Just plug the AV out into the input device red, yellow, and white inputs. Haven't tried the component cable since I use HDMI. Don't know if component works or not.

No, component cables with audio ( total of 5 RCA connectors) will not work with this device. This device is for composite video cables or just stereo audio, which is how I use it.

I believe so. I think it just goes off of what device is on at the moment. I have a DVD player connected to RCA and my converter box connected to the input coax. I turn on either one, and it works just fine.

The problem is no image is being displayed when i connect the cables in.Could someone point me in the right direction as to which imputs to connect the composite leads into and also the audio leads?

Its possible, it depends on how well the item is made really and where the problem lies. My problem with this item was because I think the back metal was touching the internal wires by accident. If the splitter serves no other purpose for you, you could try doing the same (get to the insides) to see if this is the problem, or there is something else wrong inside the unit. If all the cables work without the splitter, then it does sound like it is the splitter somehow, but there is no real guarantee that a different online product will be more successful. Might try a store where you can get a return maybe? Also note that a splitter is not the same as a switch. A splitter sends the same cable data to multiple units while a switch selectively merges different cables into 1.

After reading over that page, I found that this does not support DVD menus. Hopefully this functionality will be added sooner rather than later.How difficult is it to switch between two video output sources if you are unable to see the menus?

Reid,We use this AV switch to toggle between DVD/VCR and the Hi Def Converter on one TV input. The Roku is no the other TV input.RCA DT902AV 2-Way A/V Switcher You can also get 4-way (and more) switches.Jim

Yes that is true. I have a computer and dvd player connected, and I can manually switch between the two sources. And, yes it sends the one input (the one you select, input 1 or 2) or same signal to two HDMI sources.

Yes! this one has 4 IR emitters so it can work with up to 4 components including working with the same or different remotes. I have three, cable box, stereo surround and DVD player. Works great especially for the price!

You will have to "assign" the component being used as a component input (explained in the manual). It will do component and analog, like your older dvd player, cd player, ect. No s-video. It will play it through the hdmi, but the receiver will not convert the signal to hd.
