|   Stupid H/T S video question | Teri
Aug 13, 2001 5:17 PM | | DVD and Sat. both have svideo out. Do I need to hook to receiver or directly to tv? Salesman at circuit city said that I did not have to have a receiver with svideo inputs and outputs. I don't know, can anyone help? |

But if you have only one S-Video input on your TV, then having a Receiver with S-Video switching capability might be the way to go since your Receiver will do video switching for you. |

Is there such a thing like a Y splitter which would allow connectivity for 1 output and 2 inputs for S-Video?

I don't think there is such a thing as "Y-splitter per say" for S-Video connection since each two S-Video feed line have to be electrically isolated as not interfere with each other signal feed.
Radio shack got one S-Video switches box which would accommodate for four S-Video with appropriate audio cable( it will do audio switching along with video) for $39..Cat#...15-1966
I am sure you can find a two S-Video switch box on the net at cheaper price.
Good luck. |
