How do I connect all my video game systems to one television?

I've seen a product before that allows you to connect all your gaming systems to one television, but I can't seem to find it online. Does anyone know the name of a product like that and where it is sold?


It is called a "source selector" or "video switcher". You can find one at you local retailer (Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Circuit City etc.). They typically allow you to hook up four systems to one input on your TV. They usually cost between 15-30 dollars. Also. if you get one don't forget to get a audio/video cable (6 ft long=5-10 dollars). All your game systems will hook up to the video switcher and the audio/video cable will hook up from the switcher to your TV. Good Luck!

get urself a audio video switch box, they usually have 4 composite video inputs and 1 out put, i have a swann av switch box, in witch i have all my audio for DVD, PS2, dvbs audio which then runs into my amp. if u live in Australia u can check out dick smiths electronics. other switch boxes allow component video switching, digital audio, even HDMI. an alternative, check out EB Games

It's called either a home theater system with a receiver with multiple inputs or a system selector which is far cheaper and allows you to use just one input.

You need a multi adapter. I got mine from Gamestop. Im sure you can get one from Radio Shack too. It shouldnt run more than 30$
