Ok is it just me or is everyone starting to get too many component based products?
Currently I have a Sony ES 555 which handles 2 component sources 1 output. At first I thought that should do the trick. I currently have an Arcam DV88 hooked up and a Sony JAP PS2 hooked in via component (Note you wont believe how good a PS2 is until you see GT3 in component).
However I'm continually swapping my PS2 video cable to my Sony AUS PS2 model and within a few days I'll recieve a digital TV receiver which also is component. :(
So now soon to have 4 component sources I need a solution.
What I was wondering was is their any reason you couldn't simply use a standard switch box? Use the composite video and the left and the right audio to give you all three component channels? Arn't most switches just straight through? My amp will handle the audio switching.
I've got no idea when it comes to switch boxes hence why I'm posting up here.
