 Seamlessly Integrated and ControlledJul 16, 2009
By War Wizard
"Technophile"
Pros - Received it, opened it, connected it, updated my Logitech Harmony Remote (this device was listed as a device that can be controlled by the Harmony), then proceeded to game flawlessly. Once my universal remote was programmed, the device was forever seamlessly integrated into my Audio/Video center. I have an XBOX 360, PS3, and Wii (yes with the component cables) connected. Switching between consoles is flawless. With the Harmony Remote preprogrammed to switch to whatever input is required for gaming, you do not even know the box is in-line between the gaming systems and the HDTV. For the price, this device gave more inputs/types than anything I could find at Best Buy or anywhere else online (most other devices didn't come with a remote or had too few inputs, or was overly expensive to meet the specifications I needed - three component A/V inputs to a singular output, remote, small form factor, and controllable via Logitech Harmony Remotes). Very highly recommended.
Con - Wish it was black.

 Would be perfect if the remote sensor was reliableSep 04, 2009
By Daniel Lewis
In looking for a suitable switch for my entertainment center, I had three requirements: good picture quality, not too pricey, work with a logitech harmony remote. This device satisfies 2 and a half of these criteria. There is no noticeable degradation in picture quality and the price is hard to beat. Unfortunately, the remote sensor seems to be a bit dodgy. The included remote does not work at all (not powerful enough?), and using a logitech harmony 880, it only works about half of the time. The other times I end up having to repeatedly send commands to get them to register. Tried contacting customer support and got no reply at all. That said, if the remote is not that important to you, then this product will be fine, but if, like me, you really want the remote to work well, you may be a bit disappointed.

Great Value and works as advertisedMar 20, 2009
By Jeffrey S. Curnow
I had been looking at a lot of different switchers and this one was exactly what I was looking for and came at a really low price. It's perfect for my use as I switch to all HD and my Denon received doesn't switch HD Signals. So I am using this to bypass the receiver with the video signal and just run the audio through the stereo - still have great digital 5.1 Surround and now have up to 1080i video.

 Bad signal with gamesFeb 06, 2011
By J. Claridge
"Wheeled Goat"
I was looking for a switch for; 1. DVD player 2. Wii 3. Xbox 360. I read reviews of other component switches where people said the signal was intermittantly lost with some of these component switches. This product seemed to lack those negative reviews and had 4.5 starts, so I gave it a shot.
No go. When playing COD MW2 on my XBox 360 slim, the signal was intermittently lost - and it didn't seem to have anything to do with what was going on (other product reviews said it would happen with lots of white, like grenades going off.) This Nyrius SW201 would unpredictably do three things: sometimes the screen would just flicker around a bit, sometimes it would lose the signal for a fraction of a second or so, and sometimes lose the signal entirely (to where my TV would put up the notice "No Signal") and it would take a while to come back. One of these three things would happen at least every 30 seconds.
I tried adjusting the resolution that the 360 was putting out; tried 480 and 1080i, same problem. (As a side note, on the front this product is labelled as supporting 480i/p, 720p, and 1080i. Not 1080p).
Also, Iron Man DVD played on the XBox 360 slim through this switch had artifacts and and edges went screwy every few minutes. Same Iron Man disc plays without error otherwise.
Movies through the DVD player were just fine, I couldn't tell a difference.
I haven't tested the Wii. The home screen looked fine when I cycled through the inputs but I didn't play any games.
Good Things:
The unit does feel pretty solid, and the remote worked great for me at 10'+. It programmed easily and responded perfectly with my Harmony remote. My DVD player worked fine through it. It was packaged well.
For the price, I say give it a whirl if you're not using it with a game system. Got an XBox 360? Fuhghettaboudit.

Had some problems with it...Dec 28, 2010
By Stonedolphin
The switch had some problems when connecting 3 products together (Streamer, XBox, TV converter).
The streamer that was connected showed some lines and the quality was not perfect,
When only 2 products were connected everything was fine.
For me it was enough as I only needed 2 products to connect together, but for those of you who need it to support 3 products simultaneously it could be problematic.
I gave it a 3/5.
