Ok, upgraded from my piece of Toshi(t)ba to a Sony DVd player and am pretty happy. However, to hook it up I need to run an S Video from the player to my TV. However, I also hook my direcTV satelitte to my TV as well via S video connection.

Any suggestions on how to daisy chain these so that I don't have to switch back and forth? Or barring that do they make an S video connector that splits off into two Y S vid. couplers?

Torris:

I finally got my replacement copy of Oral Consumption, and it works fine on my Sony DVD player. I have about 60 adult DVD titles, and all of them play properly.

As for S-Video switching, if you are in the market for an audio receiver, many of the new ones has build-in switching. On my Yamaha AC-3 receiver, it has 3 S-Video inputs, and I can switch any of them to the S-Video output that goes to my TV, via the remote control.

Torris - having just gone thru my own Home Theater Hookup Hell, I looked for S-video Y's, too. Zip. However, I just found this switchbox on the Radio Shack site, that I think will solve both of our problems.
Good Luck -DB

Torris,
The photo that dumblonde pointed to looks like the back of the Sony SB-40S. It works well, although it is completely manual. Radio Shack doesn't carrry this in the stores, only in their catalog. they can order it for you at the store. Best Buy also carries this unit. You will find it by the Satellite dishes (they haven't thought about putting them near the DVD players yet).

An even better, yet more expensive option is the Sima SVS-4. It has an auto-input mode which automatically switches when it detects that a new component has been turned on. It also has a remote control. Lots of places now have this unit. You can see it here: Sima SVS-4

I know this is not the short term solution you seek, but in the long term, the best solution is probably to have an amp that does the switching for you (as someone else mentioned). My Sony amp can switch between a number of video signals. I currently have a CD player, DVD player, VCR, Nintendo and Dish all hooked up to my Amp. Switching from one component to the other automatically switches the video signal (of course, the CD player does not have video). Essentially, you feed all of those video signals into your amp and then the amp has just one video output. Very cool :) Most of the video inputs are s-video and I have a choice between coax or s-video for output to the TV.

One more thing to add:
I'm in the market for a new TV and unless you get a really expensive big screen TV it's impossible to get a normal sized TV 19" with ANY S-Video inputs and even the ones that do have S-Video inputs will only have 1 S-Video input.

Sony makes the WEGA line in very small sizes... I'm sure they have a 19". I can't say for sure, but I'd bet that the WEGA sets would all have s-video in, regardless of screen size. Could be wrong... but it's worth checking out.
