Hooking many consoles to HDTV?

[Carter Blunt]

I'm trying to set up multiple consoles(Xbox360, PS2, Wii, N64, others?) but my TV/PC monitor only has the two HDMI slots, and a red/blue/green plug setup on the side, along with R/L audio. I can hook my 360 to the plugs if I get the right cable for the 360, but the rest I don't know precisely what it does.

I used to have an older TV, and connected consoles with some kind of adapter that changes the red/yellow/white to a TV cable. But there are so many consoles, maybe I can find a more advanced adapter, with multiple video and audio plugs? Then TV cable will work. I just get tired of plug and unplug every time I switch consoles.

I'm hoping other wise people, who have had this problem long before me, will aid me in my mission.

Use the RCA (red/yellow/white) inputs for the console you don't need HD on, and the HDMI plugs for the ones that you do. You will need a switch for more inputs, like this: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10110&cs_id=1011001&p_id=2786&seq=1&format=2

You can also get a RCA switch. Don't get a cheap switch off ebay.

Ok, then an RCA switch is what I need. I just found an 8 way design I like, it's on the cheap end but the better ones were like $400+ which is outrageous.

I'm comfortable with it... 75 sold and no negative feedback on them. Will give it a try.
