Audio Switching Unit

I am looking for a switching unit which will accept the phono inputs from my DVD, Video and Satellite (plus room for expansion) and output a single phono which will then be input to my hi-fi amp. QED used to do an ugly one but is now discontinued. Anyone know of any others?

Richy,

If you`ve bought one of those RGB switch boxes, why don`t you use the Phono
outs from that.

If all of your equipment (DVD,Video,Satellite) is plugged into the
switch box via scart, then audio is passing thru` the box as well.

Simply get two phono / RCA leads from the AV connectors ant run them
to your amp.

I`ve got one with PS2, Video and Cable running into it via Scart leads,
then I`ve got the phono leads going from the box into my Sony DAVS300.

hope this helps.


Ste.

Try Here

Three way phono switcher by B.Tech, well made but ugly!, you will need Left & Right phono inputs on your HiFi tho.

Ste
When I had the video plugged in to scart 2 and the DVD into the one labelled RGB, the audio output from each wasn`t from the same pair of output sockets.

When I removed the DVD from the one labelled RGB and placed it in scart 1 then this was OK and both units can be heard via the hi-fi.

This still leaves the RGB socket problem (see other thread). Maybe I just need to spend some time and test all permutations of input/output/buttons etc. in a logical manner (or maybe just spend more time in the pub).

I found an audio switching unit in Maplins yesterday for £16.99 but, if I can get the scart switching unit problem sorted I might not need one.

Thanks for your help guys.
