Video quality is awful [Posted on 2004-08-08]
The other reviews are bewildering. This switch IS easy to use, but the output is absolutely terrible. You'll get blurriness and dot crawl added to any input. I don't consider myself skilled at seeing video imperfections, so it's not a subtle problem. It's very, very obvious and it's simply unacceptable.
Buyer beware: do NOT buy this brand. [Posted on 2004-11-30]

Nice little product [Posted on 2005-04-05]
Very reasonable & reliable product. Does what it claims to do. Easy to use, switches very easily. Note that it converts composite video to svideo & vice versa. So you only need to make one video input connection(svideo or composite video). Highly recommend to anyone looking for simple manual audio/video switch.
Good value and works well [Posted on 2007-12-03]
I needed something to simplify input selection that was previously done through a universal remote - great if you knew how to do it: impossible to teach anyone else in the family! The Recoton SVS1000 S-video has made things much simpler and given me a way to upgrade one of the connections to S-video. The 1/8" stereo speaker/headphone socket is also good so I can feed the audio into a small Logitech speaker system without replugging. The one disadvantage is having to get up and go over to the unit to change the selection - but that's a small price to pay - and actually reminded me that it wasn't so long ago we had to do that every time we changed the channel on the remoteless TV! Setting the unit up was very easy and I loved that it needed no power to operate - nothing to plug in and nothing to switch off.
It wouldn't work on my TV...but, I'm sure it's a good product [Posted on 2008-07-09]
I'm sure this is a great device, but I couldn't use it on my TV. I have an older TV with only ONE hookup on the back. This device requires TWO hookups on the back of your TV...so, I had to return it. However, I did purchase another device from this same seller. I called their tech number and they told me exactly what I needed, gave me the item number to enter online and the cables I would need and the item numbers for them. They have a GREAT tech team there and they were VERY helpful. I returned this item, but ordered another one from them that DOES work. GREAT site to work with. I will purchase from them again when I need any electronic device. THANKS tech support from Parts Express for helping me with my problem...."you're the greatest!!"
