Does its function. Small footprint.

Nice addition for the AV receiver. This switch has a small footprint, and my harmony remote controls it just fine.
3 play digital selector 2008-07-15
This product performed as described. There is no reduction in video after connecting to this componet. I would recommend this product.
Works perfectly! 2008-07-13
Works great with my Logitech Harmony remote...a great way to switch between optical toslink audio inputs!
Works Great! 2008-06-25
This av switcher/selector works perfectly for my needs. I have an older HDTV that does not have any HDMI ports, so component video is my only HD option at the moment.
My TV has two "component in" connections but I needed three and this switch was the perfect solution. I now have my PS3, Roku Netflix player and my digital cable TV signal running through this switch into component one on the TV. It also has digital (fiber optic) audio, so I have my PS3 and the Netflix player audio running into my Yamaha receiver via toslink optical/digital audio cables for excellent sound.
This item really simplified my setup. I couldn't be happier with it.
Optical Issues 
2008-06-05
1st I bought a refurbished unit and the optical output was physically gone from the unit so I returned it to Amazon (FYI: the video switched properly and looked good). Next, I purchased a full priced unit but I couldn't get any optical output to be recognized by my Denon AVR. I could hold the input and output optical cables together and see things work, but no luck through this switcher. Once again my 1080i video and analog audio switched properly & nicely. It's simple to use/hookup, but I can't speak highly for their build quality.
Component video switch 
2008-06-01
The Impact Acoustics 3-Play connects up to 3 TOSLINK digital audio, 3 stereo analog audio pairs, and 3 component video (770.3) signals to a single component video input. Experience loss-less control from as many as 3 HDTV or progressive scan source components! 3-Play gives you the power of choice and the convenience of control! This component is ideal for connecting DBS Satellite, DVD and ATSC Tuners to home theater receivers and pre-amp/processors. Includes IR remote control and DC 12V/500mA power supply.
Component Video Switch 2008-05-30
I bought this component video digital switcher to connect 3 component video devices (HDTV tuner, 2 DVD players) to my TV, which has only one comnponent video input. The unit appears to be well made, and works as you would expect. It was easy to hook up and the connections on the back are clearly labeled for inputs 1,2,and 3. It has a small remote control to switch between the 3 devices, which makes it convenient to use. There are indicator lights on the front so that you can see at a distance which input you have selected, along with a power indicator. Very nice. As a bonus, the unit can be used with digital optical audio or regular stereo cables, whichever your system is using. (But only one type of audio at a time. It doesn't do both at the same time.)
All in all, I am very happy with this device, especially considering the inexpensive price that it is for sale on Amazon.
It's too pricy but...eh... 2008-05-23
This thing serves it's purpose as a component video switcher, however the same unfortunately cant be said about audio.
I am a very avid gamer. I needed to buy this when I got all 3 current generation consoles. It seems to render video signals flawlessly, but audio seems to be a little choppy at times. In particular, when there is a lot of loud yelling or singing going on. Most of the time it isn't too noticeable, but when you play a game like Rock Band where sound is of the utmost importance, it can be quite the let down. I started using my old composite system switcher for sound and this for video that way I can get the best of both but I shouldn't need to use 2 system switchers because the more expensive of the 2 doesn't work as well.
Overall, I would recommend buying a different system switcher over this. Something that's 50 bucks should work perfectly on all fronts.
Works well with optical audio cables 2008-05-14
I have 3 audio optical cable that I need to switch between on my home theater. I was using a manual switch before I got this. This does the job very well without any visible loss of quality in the audio. The only issue that I have with this product is that it sometimes does not respond well to my logitech universal remote. I use it only for switching digital audio and not for the component or A/V video. So, can't comment on the video part. I am really satisfied with this product.
Did the job 2008-05-08
I bought this product because my TV only had 2 component inputs. The product itself works well for video, but the audio did not work. I had to hook up my audio directly to my receiver, which had extra slots so it wasn't too much of an inconvenience. My cable wouldn't work through the hub, the colors were distorted, so I had to connect that directly to my TV. The XBox 360 and Wii are hooked up the the hub right now and the picture is fine. Every now and then I see weird lines when I'm playing and XBox 360 game, which were never there before I got the hub. All in all, it does a good job considering the price it is.
