Thank you Philips!May 14, 2005
I have long been a fan of S-Video; in fact ever since I bought my first S-VHS VCR in the mid 1980s. An S-Video jack on a TV/monitor allows the consumer to get the most out of their conventional picture tube; allowing a very noticeable improvement in color and clarity over the more common composite video.(the yellow RCA plug on the back of your TV) Trouble is, most manufacturers put only one S-Video input on most of their mid-priced televisions.
In an age where the increased availability of DVD players, video-game consoles, digital camcorders, and the like make a single jack the scene of constant cord-switching; a dangerous undertaking in the clutter of my entertainment center, I felt that there must be a way to switch this one S-Video jack between the three S-Video accescories I was using.
An internet search quickly led me to my first solution; an electronic S-Video switching device with remote, at a bargain price I might add;(apr $30)but upon trying the device I found it capricious, sensitive to the mute key on my TV remote, and often likely to cause a wavering picture by not making a secure connection between the various jacks. Since my reason for using S-Video was for picture quality I quickly amended my search.
Unwilling to spend $150 to $400 to acquire a dependable remote-controlled unit, I searched the Philips Website first - knowing their role in the development of many of today's A-V innovations and their fair pricing structure - and found the PM61146.
An analog unit with the capability to switch four separate source devices such as a DVD player, video card, game-station, etc.; the PM61146 operates with a firm push to any of the four selector buttons on top of the stylish black case. each of the four input busses has an S-Video jack, composite video (RCA)jack, and a set of stereophonic audio jacks; all have gold-plated connections. The single output bus has the same arrangment with an added mini-plug audio headphone jack on the front of the case. (find one of those on a mid-priced TV)
Solid, attractive, and gets the job done. This unit reminds me of myself in those ways; do yourself a favor if you are looking for a dependable way to switch your audio/video devices, ORDER THIS ONE!!!!!
A quick note: this unit does take have the ability to take a S-Video source and convert it to composite video, or vice-versa; you won't need it for most entertainment use anyway.
