Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony SB-V31G Game and Video Selector with 3-Component Functionality

Customer Review: Not so good
Summary: 3 Stars

This product got some kind of intermitten. sometimes it did not make contact at all.

Customer Review: Ugly and overpriced
Summary: 2 Stars

The photo doesn't make clear that this device, when fully connected, has cables hanging off all sides. Maybe that's OK in some areas like a playroom that doesn't have to look neat, but it's very ugly for any public space of the house. Nor does this product support S-video. I'm returning it. For an extra $4 I'm going with the "Cables To Go 4x2 switch": Cables To Go 28750 4x2 S-Video + Composite Video + Stereo Audio Selector Switch (Black), which supports:
- An extra output (total of 2)
- S-video on all inputs and outputs, as well as composite RCA and stereo-audio
- 3 inputs on the back, keeping it neat looking
- A 4th input on the front - suitable for temporarily connecting a video camera or other external source

Clean and attractive black packaging.
Well worth the slight extra cost in my opinion.

Customer Review: Requires a video signal
Summary: 2 Stars

I wanted to use this to switch between different audio sources and the occasional video source. The problem is that like most other switchers, this requires a video signal to work. Great if you always have that, but for me ... not so great.

Customer Review: This is a BAD switch
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought this so that I could hook up 3 different systems to my TV easily. I was not overly concerned with the way the product looked, so i was willing to overlook its obvious design flaws.

When it arrived I hooked it up. when wires are coming out of all 4 sides of this thing you realize just how incredibly unpleasant it looks.

The real problem with the product is, however, that there is an unmistakable lag between the video and audio. This is a fault I can not overlook. I was even ok with how bad it looked, but I think I'm going to go back to unplugging my AV cables each time i want to switch systems.

I am using this splitter with a Samsung HDTV, and the TV does not have this problem when I am not using the splitter.

Spend a little more money and buy a better splitter.
