Performs like a champ out of the box!.......2007-06-08

This device, allows me to input 3 component cables and then pass to my tvs 1 component input. Just what the doctor ordered as I currently have my xbox and DVD player hooked up, where I had to use S video for the xbox in the past. It is a solidly built, apparently well designed unit that also lets you hook up the 3 inputs with your choice of regular or digital audio (toslink). This allows a big improvement in connectivity without buying a new receiver or tv.

I was skeptical because of the low price, but this is PERFECT.

No signal loss, does EXACTLY what it claims to.
Perfect if using a slightly older tv with only 1 component input like mine :)

(I am even using really cheap cables and there is STILL no signal loss)

Remote works great as well!!

Great deal, don't pass it up!!!!

1st component video switch that works without problems!.......2007-06-07

I have a Joytech 240c (~$100 instore) and I had a Psyclone PSC01 (ditto, ~$100)

The Joytech has ghosting at 720p/1080i but works perfectly for 480p and s-video/composite stuff. The Psyclone worked on my DLP projector but with my 37" LCD it would cause the TV to lose sync on bright white images (like the main menu screen on the Wii).

I've been using the Joytech but bypassing it for HD by using my HDMI/DVI inputs on my projector, and dealing with the degradation on my LCD. I thought it died so I hunted around for yet another switch.

This is the only switch I found to work properly with 720p/1080i on my Optoma HD72 projector and my 37" Olevia LCD. I didn't see any noticeable softness or degradation @ 115" and no video dropouts.

I found out the Joytech simply had a bad AC adapter, subbed in a spare 8-bit NES power adapter and it is running again. But I kept this switch around as a backup. I only wish they made one with 4-6 inputs, 3 just isn't enough, so I tolerate the Joytech.

If this gives you enough inputs I highly recommend it.

I took a chance on this unit with all the great reviews I'd read, however I found that this product does not live up to the hype. When running a component video source (Xbox 360) through this device I noticed a decrease in image clarity, specifically, the image looked out of focus. It could be that the 100" image I'm throwing from my projector amplifies the imperfections caused from this switch. I was greeted with a crystal clear image once I reverted back to my original setup of plugging the Xbox 360 directly into my A/V receiver. For smaller TVs this may be an OK unit but I suggest a pass if you have a large TV or projector.

Having an older HDTV, it lacks many of the nice extras newer models have(like extra component connections), so the Impact Acoustics A/V selector is exactly what I needed. Easy to hook-up and use. I'm so glad that I purchased it.
