8x1 A/V Switcher

Great for connecting multiple retro game consoles, easy to use and for a great price. Can't say enough for how useful this has been. Came in good quality and works great.

Works great for my retro set up.

Can easily be labeled and used without issue. Mechanical switch needs no power and transmits video perfectly as intended.

I purchased this switcher to connect multiple "retro" game systems to an LCD tv. So far, I am quite happy with the picture and sound quality coming out of this product! I have a Retro-Bit RetroTRIO, Nintendo 64, Playstation, Playstation 2, XBox, and a Wii consoles connected to it. I hope to connect an old Atari 2600 to it soon, as well. Originally, I had an old 4-input Pelican RCA switcher with the game systems connected to it. I upgraded to this Panlong switcher because I needed more inputs. I can notice a definite difference in the video quality with the Panlong. It has much crisper visuals coming out of it, compared to the old Pelican switcher (which I bought back in the late 90s!). When I was running my N64 and NES through the Pelican box, the video looked a lot more pixelated on my LCD tv, than they do with this Panlong box. There is also a lot less "ghosting" of fast movements on the N64 with this switcher. However, I have to say that any LCD/LED TV will pixelate and ghost the older game systems no matter what. Those systems were made for old tube TVs, and the way they display pictures. The new HD TVs will only make flaws in the resolution of the old games stand out. Eventually, I may purchase an up-converter for the RCA output of this box, and connect it via HDMI to the TV. I hear that helps a little on resolution. But, I am currently quite happy with the video quality that this Panlong box gives out. I would definitely recommend this switcher to anyone! *Quick disclaimer: I connected all these old game systems to a smaller 26" LCD TV. I did not try it with my 52" TV. I assume, as with any of the older systems, the video quality will decrease a small portion due to the larger size of the HD screen being used. But, I don't think it would be a deal-breaker. When I used the old Pelican box on my 52", the quality was a lot less than if I connected the NES to the TV directly. Seeing the improved quality of this Panlong box, I don't think that would be an issue here.

I grabbed this 8-port AV switcher hoping to declutter my retro gaming station, especially with my Retrotink 4K in the mix. Let's just say, it's been a mixed bag. The sheer number of ports is great, I'll give it that. But the positives pretty much stop there. Pros: Lots of ports, which is essential for a big retro collection. Cons: The unit is incredibly light and feels cheap. The buttons are terrible. I had to really press down hard on one of them initially, and it still feels inconsistent. Auto-switching? Forget about it. You have to manually select the input every time, which is a major inconvenience. It gets noticeably hot, which is concerning. Honestly, while it technically works, it feels like a very budget-friendly option where they cut corners on build quality and features. If you're looking for a smooth, user-friendly experience, you might want to look elsewhere. I'm hoping it lasts, but I'm not holding my breath.

Working great with 5 retro consoles connected. I verified all input ports work and I tested with all 5 consoles powered on and there was no cross-talk. When it arrived though, the buttons were all pushed in and for a moment I thought it was defective like some other reviewers' units, but I pushed really hard on one button at random and then all the others popped out.

I bought this switch so I could have multiple Video game consoles connected to my old CRT TV. I am currently using it for PS1, XBOX, NES, and N64 but I am sure it will work with any composite source. Switching works flawlessly and no notifiable loss of video quality when going through the switch. Great cheap option for switching composite sources on an older TV with limited inputs. Made of metal and feels rugged.

I have a collection of retro game consoles and this lets me connect several of them at once to my upscaler. The switch is entirely passive so it requires no power input and introduces no latency. Since there's no actual difference internally between the RCA connector colors, I bought a 2nd switch so I can route either component or composite video through one switch and audio through the other.

I have 6 concoles plugged into this box and I have never had any issues with the buttons or anything. Feels like it's built pretty solid and mine gets used daily for over 2 years.

If any of the inputs are not working property, it may be due to loose ribbon cable connections inside of the device. Instead of sending it back and waiting for a new one, or buying something else, fix it yourself.

Have had this for a year or so, and never had any issues. There's a loud-ish click when you switch inputs, but that's hardly a dealbreaker.
