Does that exist. I know JVC has one but it oonly has 2 component outs and i need at least three. I found a site that had an auto switching optical cable switch but i couldn't find anything with 3 ports or more of component with a switch. Thanks!!!

Keny: Well i did not find one of a reasonable price so instead of just giving up i looked at the other forums and i found out that i found an alternative of a reasonable price. You have to get 2 different boxs. I was reading some forums and i found out that if i was to get a switcher of RCA video, RCA Stereo (L/R). Well i found out that component outputs are the same as those RCA connections that i just discussed. I was then debating on whether or not to get one with a remote or one that has an auto sensing feature. this was worrying me, since these auto senseing signal switchers might not recognize the component signal. So i trashed that option. The other option was to get one that was supplied with a remote, and just have it learn all the stuff when switching to that connection. From this i also made sure that i foudn the right remote switch one that would not require to press one button to switch through the options, but to have a remote assigned to each switch. Now that the component signal was taken care of. I wanted to get an optical switcher. Now i didn't mess with anything in this, since it was an optical cable going to an optical out. This option was auto senseing so it would switch to the right mode when needed. Supriseingly i found all these things at around retail of about 300 dollars. Let me know if this sounds good to you. If so i will post the products and the cheapest price i can get it from.

Have Fun

That is for the audio it is 124.99

[Link: shop.store.yahoo.com]

There are two here that had the remote that i wanted, and there is a big price difference. It looks like what its price is

Emerson- 4-Way Remote Stereo Video Selector
This one is 33.95

[Link: smarthome.com]

Sima- that has the same exact features just looks a little bit more solid but has an audio feature which i think if it was on or if changed to a different selection then there would be some major problems with your component. but here it is anyways.
This one is 104.95

let me know what you think of my opinions
