I need to know, if I use an s-video cord that has 4 male parts: yellow, red, white, plus the black s-video; and I plug in all four, will my TV display the Composite yellow or the Black S-video? Before you state the obvious which would be just to leave the yellow unplugged, please note I have 13 consoles and have to use multiple video selectors so I really just need my question answered honestly as that is the way I would have to hook my s-video consoles up. So the question is, with both the yellow AND black s-video male parts plugged in, which video will I get? Standard Composite, or S-video? |

You just couldn't post in to the other S-video topic? :P If I undestood correctly you are planning on using a selector? You can connect both the yellow and the S-video cable of the selector. But I'd suggest just connecting the consoles to the selector with one or the other. |

You can't just connect both. Often times that'll freak the TV out and you'll get nothing for video. Plus, why would you hook both up anyway? Just hook up what you're gonna use. |

Lke I said: He can connect both plugs from the selector to TV, and connect consoles to the selector using either one or the other. Selector should only let one consoles signal thru at one time, so now screwing the signal. Or to be on safe side only have one console on at the time |
