Product Description
Switches up to 4 audio/video components to the TV
Amazon.com Product Description
Terk's S-video-compatible VS-4 video selector expands the options available to those with limited-input televisions. Though today's home-entertainment systems bring endless hours of viewing enjoyment, they can also be difficult to deal with--especially if there aren't enough connections on your TV or audio/video receiver to accommodate all your components, such as video game consoles, DVD players, PVRs, satellite systems, and VCRs. In such cases, moving components around and disconnecting and reconnecting wires becomes a serious deterrent to enjoyment and even use. Many TVs include an S-video input--a superior type of video connection to the standard coaxial or RF video. S-video improves clarity and resolution and reduces video artifacts. However, S-video-equipped TVs often include only one or two S-video inputs. The VS-4 offers S-video switching on all inputs. The video selector is built with high-quality components for maximum performance and reliability, including gold-plated connectors for best video and audio signal quality. Non-skid feet make sure the unit stays in place while in use. For added convenience, the selector features a separate front-panel audio jack for connecting powered multimedia speakers, and its signal follows the switching for the primary outputs. What's in the Box
Switcher and a data sheet.

 Cheap Functional a/v Switch April 14, 2008
The switch is very light and cheap. Feels like a 100% mechanical operation, no electronics. The click it makes when a button is pressed is rather loud. But the bottom line, I've used this switch for about 1 month and not had a single problem, Straight forward installation. Note: If you plan to use the s-video, your t.v might not display any other inputs which use standard A/V jacks with the s-video cord connected between the switch and the t.v.
 Good product. Like described. Runs perfect. Recommended. January 26, 2008

i have my play station, my vcr, dvd, and sony gv-d1000 all hooked up and its an easy switch, this thing saves alot of time pulling wires, i had one before and lost it in a move, i had paid $30 for it and saw it online for half of that, it was the best thing i could ever purchase, and at the right price, if you have 4 devices that need to be routed to your 1 input this is the thing for you
 Big Disappointment! April 24, 2007

I was tired of switching my RCA cables from my TiVo, DVD and Game Cube around, so I read a lot of reviews for A/V switches. Unfortunately, this switch was worthless. It only gave me video on the first input. Every other input gave me a blue (no signal) screen.
I returned it for a refund.
 Cheaply made, does not have its own power supply, but it does the job January 27, 2007

I purchased this A/V switcher to connect an S-Video DVD player and the S-Video on my Nintendo Wii to the same TV. The problem with most TVs and S-Video is 1) there's only one S-Video connection on the TV, and 2) the audio that accompanies the S-Video is generally only at the first A/V channel. The A/V switcher solves this problem by allowing more than one S-Video device to connect to a single S-Video TV.
Lightweight, Somewhat Cheaply Made Product: This A/V switcher is so light that a few cords can tip it or pull it from your entertainment center to the floor. Be sure to position it well.
Not Powered: A powered A/V switcher should produce better quality video. Thus far, I have noticed little if any difference in the quality of the S-Video with this switcher.
Ease of Use: The change from DVD player to video game console is instant and as easy as pushing a button.
Overall, I recommend this product because it does the job well and there's little to no noticeable decrease in the quality of the S-Video. Read the reviews of other A/V switchers, and you'll see that many are problematic. This one works great.
