I have one of these, different brand name but the exact same thing in black. I use it to switch between three different toslink audio sources going into my surround sound speaker system. It’s worth it for that purpose alone.
The only device I know of anyone to have that uses component is a Wii with a component cable, and I’m pretty sure I’m the only Wii owner I know who even bothered to get one of those. Oh, and some VERY OLD Xbox 360s, but those have probably all red-ringed by now.
Everybody’s on to HDMI, woot! Who do you expect to buy this?
I thought about it, but I just get up, walk over to my set up & switch cables manually…This can also assist in reducing wedgies as well as a wee bit of an increase in heart rate, so I’ll pass for now.
Some of us bought high-quality components 15 years ago, and everything still works perfectly fine - so, no need to upgrade just because stuff is newer/better. No budget for upgrades, either. Not to say I don’t drool at the big-screen HD stuff whenever I walk by it at the store, though!
I’d get one of these if I didn’t already have something similar, with 4 inputs.
