Up to four devices with HD component video or composite video output jacks and left-right RCA connector audio jacks can be connected to the switch box. The switchbox does not have jacks for other video connectors such as HDMI or S-Video. The switch box is a good device to have if your TV only has one set of component video jacks and you have multiple older video game or dvd players that do not have HDMI jacks. The input device to view is selected by buttons on the switch box or by an included remote control. The instruction manual also describes how to program your television or media center remote to select the input device.

I bought this StarTech Component switch to replace a Radio Shack Component Switch that started flashing and rolling the screen whenever the screen was all or mostly white. Radio Shack no longer carries them or they were way too expensive and found this model on here. I have an older Rear Projection HD TV with a DVI and Component Connection. I used this switch for Charter Cable, WII, Blu-Ray, PS2 (I also have used it for XBOX 360 - but later moved XBOX direct to the DVI and A/V). The picture is great - even with my glasses on. If a good picture is being broadcast or sent from the machine it looks good on the screen - and no more flashing when the screen is white (hooray!). The switch also learns buttons on your other remote to switch the ports remotely from your chair just like my old one. This is very handy not to have to get up to press the button to switch (although it does come with a button to do so if you happen to be standing at it). It is very light, so if you do use the button, press down on the top to keep it from sliding when you press the button. This was a good/fair price if you need Component switch.

My Startech switch was easy to install and works perfectly. There are many more expensive switches available but this one does the job.
