Product Description
The 6x2 Component Video Matrix Selector is the ultimate controller for high definition and progressive scan video sources. This HDTV selector allows you to simultaneously route any of six source devices to two separate TV/monitors or one source to two TV/monitors. Connect all your HDTV products such as DVD players, satellite receivers, cable set-top boxes, or gaming systems, and use the remote control or front panel buttons to watch any picture on either of two plasma, CRT, LCD or projection televisions with complete independence!This switch offers six component video inputs, six stereo audio inputs, and six optical digital audio TOSlink inputs. It will switch all of these inputs to either of the two outputs, with the audio following video. Comes complete with an infrared remote control that features discrete commands to make programming complex macros into your universal remote control system a snap. Now you can take control of your system and watch what you want, where you want, and do it with no compromises!

Works Great in HD Distribution Setup November 20, 2008
BobG (Boston)
I am using this in conjunction with component video baluns to distribute HDTV from components in the basement to the bedrooms upstairs, and it works great!
Here's the distribution setup ...
Video equipment is relegated to the basement, including the Cables To Go matrix switch. We have 2 TiVos and a DVD player; with all these inputs we still have capacity for 3 more devices.
Each of the matrix switch outputs is connected to a CE LABS CAT5TX CAT-5 HD A/V Transmitter. In each bedroom, there is a CE LABS CAT5RX CAT-5 HD A/V Receiver; of course there are 2 Cat5 cables connecting each transmitter to its receiver. See my reviews of these baluns for details.
The result is that you can get a great HD picture and sound in each bedroom, with the ability to independently select different video sources in each location.
I had an existing IR distribution system, so getting the remote control signal down to the basement was no problem. However for a multi-room setup, the missing piece was that the unit comes with only one remote control! I guess they never anticipated that the displays might be in different rooms. To solve this, I went to the Cables To Go web site and ordered a 2nd "replacement" remote control.
In the living room, BTW, I'm using HDMI connections to the same video sources in the basement. For more information, including the snag I hit on this front, see my review of the OPPO HM-31 HDMI switch. Bottom line is it works with a separate HDMI cable from each component to the living room TV; I don't recommend using HDMI switching in this kind of application. Stay analog, it's simpler (i.e. not hobbled by digital rights management snafus!)
All in all it works very well!
And for about 1/6th the cost of an HDMI distributed matrix switch (that the reviewers said was flaky)...
Works great. November 3, 2008

Using my Logitech Harmony 720 to do the switching. Works as advertised and the video looks great.
Great product! October 31, 2008

This is a great product at a very reasonable price. It was easy to hook up and has worked perfectly. I have cable box, TiVo and DVD through it now and plan to add X-Box soon. It even comes with a remote to make switching between components easy. I would highly recommend this.
Works Perfectly August 30, 2008
S. Zaman
Item arrived on time and is in perfect working condition. Does exactly what its supposed to do. I have 2 xbox 360s, a PS3, and an xbox 1 all connected to the unit with 1 output going straight to the Receiver. The PS3 is hooked up with HDMI straight to the t.v. but the sound goes straight into the 6x2 matrix. The remote is very small but works nicely and is simple. I did not notice any quality loss or compression issues that usually occur with cheaper matrix selectors.
Great Switch Box Choice August 12, 2008
C. Hague (Wichita, KS)
Bought this to replace the Psyclone switch previously purchased from Best Buy and taken out by lightening. Read the reviews to determine which unit to purchase. Much better. No bleed-through when cable component is on and playing X-Box for example.
