How do I hook up my switch box to component cable outputs?

Question

I have a switch box that has my xbox, playststion, gamecube etc connected to it. it has a red/white/yellow and s video output. Can I hook this to the greed/red/blue componet output from my tv? I have some component cables and was wondering what color goes where. thanks

Answer 1

You could use this switchbox. However, it is not suitable for HDTV Output when you want to use other consoles with it.

The yellow cable from the other consoles is for Video alone, the red and white is for the left and right audio signal in stereo.

Therefore, 3 plugs are enough. However, to get HDTV, the Videosignal alone is already divided into 3 plugs and 2 Audio plugs.
Since on your switchbox 2 plugs are for audio and only one for video, you have bad luck. It will not work. At least not, if the other two consoles still need to work on the TV.

However, both PS2 and Gamecube can also have component cables. Get yourself a HDTV Switchbox (I bought the Hama YUV-Selector AV-760, which is able to switch even HDTV output up to 1080p). It has 5 Plugs for 4 inputs. I have my Wii, the Xbox 360 and my DVD player plugged in, and the picture is fantastic.

Answer 2

you've a higher situation than that. What about the sound? you want a ingredient change container (with any success designed for the a lot higher frequency HD video alerts and not in any respect standard def ingredient) and an optical inputs so the sound and video stay collectively. seem for "Psyclone" that is a business enterprise that makes more than a number of switches like this (I surely have an HDMI one from them). also verify Monoprice for "ingredient Switchers" yet be certain to seem for one which takes/switches optical as well.
