I am looking for a good quality AV selector switch, with RCA ports and remote control. 4 inputs would suffice, 6 would be nice, but I know more than 4 seems like very limited options. I only need RCA, no HDMI. 2 outs would be nice, if not I’ll use Y adapters.
I recently bought a 6x2 box which would have been perfect but turned out to be some no-name Chinese product. It selects fine, but it throws my colors off and makes some images swim. One would think the selection circuit would be separate from the signal circuit but who knows. I just know I wasted $40.
So I want something of quality that won’t screw up the signal. Preferably something slim and low amperage that I can set on top of the TV along with my FTA box, Roku, and OTA converter box. I currently have a manual box which works flawlessly, but I want something remote control so I can change sources from the bedroom.
A little background, old school guy, I still even use a C band dish, DVD, VCR. I previously used a Philips surround sound receiver, with a 27” CRT and entertainment center. For practically free I recently got a 50” Hitachi Ultravision rear projection TV with about 200 hours, from right down the road. It has a nice sound system, so I’m simplifying my system and putting the receiver, speakers, sub, and entertainment center into storage. I have a nice old Trinitron in the bedroom, with a cable sending the signal, so I can take a handful of remotes and watch whatever I want, using the remote extender. Being able to switch the source in there would be nice, without needing my big receiver just for switching.
