Product Description:
Terk's S-video-compatible VS-4 video selector expands the options available to those with limited-input televisions. Though today's home-entertainment systems bring endless hours of viewing enjoyment, they can also be difficult to deal with--especially if there aren't enough connections on your TV or audio/video receiver to accommodate all your components, such as video game consoles, DVD players, PVRs, satellite systems, and VCRs. In such cases, moving components around and disconnecting and reconnecting wires becomes a serious deterrent to enjoyment and even use.

In such cases, moving components around and disconnecting and reconnecting wires becomes a serious deterrent to enjoyment and even use.
Many TVs include an S-video input--a superior type of video connection to the standard coaxial or RF video. S-video improves clarity and resolution and reduces video artifacts. However, S-video-equipped TVs often include only one or two S-video inputs. The VS-4 offers S-video switching on all inputs.
The video selector is built with high-quality components for maximum performance and reliability, including gold-plated connectors for best video and audio signal quality. Non-skid feet make sure the unit stays in place while in use. For added convenience, the selector features a separate front-panel audio jack for connecting powered multimedia speakers, and its signal follows the switching for the primary outputs.
What's in the Box
Switcher and a data sheet.

Rating: - does what is supposed to
This product has done exactly what I thought it would.The only draw back is that it can only be connected with s-video or component cables.They did not work at the same time.

- Works fine!
Bought this to help eliminate the need for switching A/V wires everytime I needed to flip from DVD/VCR to TV.Works great!Of note, you do need to manual press the selector button everytime to want to switch.A remote control option would've been ideal.For the price I'm happy with the product.Hopes the mechanical parts inside are reliable...Good luck

This is a great product very simple in its design and it works very well. I haven't had any issues with this product. And it's taken the abuse of my children.
Again great product.

- Does not work well with PC output
I needed a switch to select between my dish receiver and my PC outputs for sound.The dish receiver works fine with this unit but with the PC signal, much noise is introduced.I tried a very expensive shielded cable, a very expensive sound card, and finally, another computer all with the same result.All by itself, running through this thing, there is a significant and annoying hum added to your signal.
So, if you are running with a PC, look for something else. Otherwise, I'm sure ... Read More
Rating: - Pleased so far
