Video Game Selector for AV cables
akuma632:
I have run in to a small issue with having so many retro game systems plugged in to my TV, I don't have as many AV inputs as I need. I was looking online for a good AV selector for my cables but I have not found a decent one yet. So I was wondering if there was any people would suggest to pick up? ???
Thanks for the help!

Radio Shack Switch Box: Model 15-1985 -- I use two of these, they are auto-sensing so all you do is turn on your console and it automatically knows which one you have on. No need to constantly press buttons ;D You can plug 5 composite consoles into it!

how many consoles do you want hooked up at one time?

These things can give you some video issues, ghosting etc. I had one and had problems like that.
You could always daisy chain regular 4 input switchboxes.

I solved this problem by getting some nice quality cables and couplers for the main inputs to my tv. Then cleanly leading towards my console rack. Whenever i feel the need to play 1team of consoles i just grab the cable/coupler combo, plug in and play.
This way you get no video distortion from those little boxes. Except hdmi i have a 3-1splitter for that.
