So, the number of game systems I own has increased and I'm having trouble switching between them. My TV only has 2 HDMI inputs, occupied by my satellite receiver and PS3, and one that acts as both composite and component (no S-Video :(). However, I have all these things I'd like to have plugged in: Wii (component) PS2 (component) GameCube (component) PS1 (composite) N64 (composite) SNES (composite) Genesis (composite) What would be the least expensive way to hook all these up and not sacrifice too much picture quality? I'm thinking this thing might work if I can find it a little cheaper than this: http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-TX-Channel-Certified-Receiver/dp/B004O0TRD8 |

Actually, this is also relevant to my own interests. If you don't mind, I'll keep an eye on the responses you get and hopefully be able to learn a thing or two as well. |

You just one of these "switchers" or whatever. Something similar to this http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=180-938&utm_source=googleps or this http://www.amazon.com/4X1-HD-Component-Av-Selector/dp/B000BVIBGI |

I actually have something like those already. What I'm looking for is one that can handle both composite and component input. This seems to be what I'm looking for if I'm understanding all this correctly: http://avreceivers.productwiki.com/yamaha-rx-v659/ It has exactly how many composite and component inputs I need, and I assume since the composite inputs are upscaled to a component output the dual A/V input on my TV won't have any problems reading them. The only real downsides I'm seeing listed are the lack of HDMI, which I don't need, and needing accessories to use an iPod, which doesn't concern me. There's a newer model that has both of those things, but it has less component inputs. Plus, this is $200 on Amazon, which is just about what I'm looking to spend. If I'm misunderstanding how this receiver works and this isn't going to do what I'm thinking it will, someone please correct me. |
