I have a regular CRT television with a single set of RCA inputs on the back. I currently have my home theater system plugged into it, however if I want to play my PS2, I have to disconnect the entertainment system to do so. I am also planning on getting the missus a Nintendo Wii for Christmas, which will add a 3rd set of RCA inputs.
What device do I need in order to hook up the Wii, PS2, and Entertainment system all into the single set of RCA inputs on my television? I know I can't run all 3 pieces of equipment at the same time, but it would be nice not having to play the game with the wires. Thanks! |

I'm a bit confused.
Usually, in a genuine home theater, the receiver is the main hub for connecting all source material devices. The receiver interfaces with the display via a single cable (or single set of cables). This is one of two primary functions of the AVR. Connect your PS2 into the AVR. Connect any and all devices to the AVR, not the TV. |

Connect any and all devices to the AVR, not the TV. it's not really a home theater system, but a Panasonic dvd player/receiver with surround. the receiver does have inputs for additional audio sources, however it only has one for video, so no matter what I end up with too many video inputs and only one place to put them. thanks for the suggestions on the switches, I will definitely look into them |
