Heya folks. I tried googling this stuff, but I have had some difficulty finding an answer. Here's the issue
I recently purchased a GameCube for play. My apartment has a HDTV that comes with it. The GC has a 3 RCA Cable (White, red, yellow). So does my DVD player, and PS2. I want to be able to use all of them in the TV, but it has just one set of traditional 3 way plugs, and has a bunch of the new 5 way RCA cable plugs. These won;t work (the sound works fine, but the video is split three ways).
Here's what I want. I want to be able to use all of my older three way plugs in my TV without having to move cables every time. I can think of two possible products that might work. Are either available on the market?
Product #1: This is a cable splitter or box that takes the 3 way cable and turns it into a 5 way cable to use.
Product #2: This is a box that can take numerous inputs from various things (DVD player, game systems, etc). You plug it into your sole input. With a touch of a button or switch, you can change which item is "plugged" in and working, so I can merely punch a button on t up front to switch between everything.
If either or both of these products exist, where? Thanks!
