Question for A/V guys.

I need to connect two devices to my TV. Both use the yellow/white/red cable connection. But the TV only has provision for one such connection.

Is there an adapter that would either...

A. Connect to both devices then connect to the TV via the single access or...

B. Take input from the YWR cables with an output being a 75 Ohm cable that I could connect to the TV as the screw on cable input connector isn't currently being used.

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    That first one is perfect.

    Hmmm...seems appropriate.

    Thanks.

    Initially, I was thinking it would be preferable, but with option B, you don't have to switch anything ever.

    What are the components, Doc? You may be able to go 'through' one of them.
    Connect A/V OUT of Box 'A' to A/V IN of Box B and then A/V OUT of Box B to the A/V IN of the TV.

    He would have to switch the input on the TV....

    My mother in law still has a tube TV. When it gives up the ghost she is going to be in a world of hurt since it is in a very nice custom built-in in their great room. The opening was for the largest tube TV of the day which is probably 32" but of course it is a 4:3 aspect ratio. I'd bet the computer monitor on my desk would barely fit into it. I have a TV from 2005 or 6 that may have a modulated input. I'm reasonably certain that the one in the basement does not and it is from 2008 when Circuit City was cratering.

    usually the switching on the TV can be done by remote at least. I have a 43" HDTV that is rear projection. It's not small.

    If the TV only has composite and coax inputs it may not have a remote.... At least he is not trying to use one of these....

    I ordered the first one. Looks simple, just toggle a switch back and forth, and cheaper. It's for the DVD player/satellite box on the bedroom TV. Both use three cable connections but TV only has one such input. Only time we use the DVD player is when my wife goes in the bedroom and watches her exercise videos. (Yes, she actually does the exercises and doesn't just watch.)
