Will this work if I want to switch from my Roku box to my DVD player? The TV only has 1 set of red,yellow&white plugs in the back. Thank you.

This will work but you have to make sure that only one input component is on at a time. I have heard via other forums that if both input components are on they may back feed into one another and one of them may no longer work.

This is a component(digital - HD - 720P switcher. Red, white and yellow is composite(analog). You need to buy a composite switcher to for your TV. Your TV is too old if it only has component. You will not get an HD picture out of component connections.

Yes, it will. I connected both of my Wii and dvd player to the tv, and it worked perfectly.

This will probably work, but that is not how this device is meant to be used. You should use something like this: Panlong® 2-Way AV Switcher Box 3RCA Composite Video L/R Audio Bi-directional Switch Selector 2 In 1 Out

Reid,We use this AV switch to toggle between DVD/VCR and the Hi Def Converter on one TV input. The Roku is no the other TV input.RCA DT902AV 2-Way A/V Switcher You can also get 4-way (and more) switches.Jim

if you are not already using the hdmi slot on the roku to connect to your tv it should work !!! your tv should be connected tou your avr so that everything that plays thru the tv will play thru the surround sound !

Regret I have no idea.But please note my reservation regarding the fact that it will not work with a Roku box plugged into this three way switch.One has to switch off the power to the Roku box to watch the TV box connection which defeatsthe purpose of having the switch box. Nobody including the company has addressed this issue.

Not at all, in fact, if your TV doesn't have a HDMI input, the Roku comes with a composite video cable. You plug the cable into the back of the Roku, and the other end has three plugs on it, a yellow, a red and a white that you plug into the matching colors on the back of your TV set.Hope this helps

I don't think so...there's 1 input & 4 outputs...so you can switch between AV components 1, 2, 3 or 4 but not all at the same time. I use mine for my DVD player which doesn't have an HDMI plug. I bought my switchbox when I had a 2nd component (an older Tivo) that wasn't HD and I needed a way to easily switch between them since there was only one set of Component AV inputs on the back of my Vizio TV. This switchbox worked great for that. I've since upgraded my Tivo to Tivo HD using an HDMI cable, so now I only have the DVD player on the switchbox but I'm keeping that config in case I add any other AV components to my setup in the future.

Ronald, Here is an idea. Use an older DVD player that has a coaxial connector input on the back and a RCA or RGB output. I also broke the RG6 Coaxial Cable connector on the back of my TV. I was able to watch my TV through the DVD player. It is a quick fix, but at least your TV will still work.

Roku and DVD player are (2) devices you are switching between (content)?Output (1) is going to your TV?

If your cable box and TV have RCA plug receptacles ( yellow, white,& red plugs)

Cheryl, can you tell me what type of connections you have on the back of the tv? I connected my roku via two RCA inputs for sound and one RCA input for video.

Truthfully I haven't connected my DVD player but there should be three different cords, so just connect those three cords to back of tv. Red into red, yellow into yellow, and white into white. Then u have to go to the output( on your remote) and then just chose the correct output.. Hopefully this helps..

This product is a cruel joke and a ripoff. You need a converter box to change an HDMI output to an analog signal, in order to have EITHER 1stGen HD red/green/blue (aka "YPbPr") OR non-HD red/white/yellow RCA connectors as inputs on the other end. It's not just a matter of having the right connectors on the ends of the cable. So there are basically three solutions to your specific problem, Letitia: 1) Get an HDMI-to-RCA (red/white/yellow) converter box for around $50-80. Make sure the product description says "digital-to-analog converter," otherwise you will likely get another ripoff item. (I found a KanexPro HDMI box for $60 that should work http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815820045&cm_re=hdmi_to_rca_converter-_-15-820-045-_-Product) 2) Put that money toward an HD TV (with HDMI inputs). Really, the purpose of the BluRay system is an HD-quality viewing experience. 3) Get a regular DVD player with RCA outputs. If you mostly rent videos and don't have a large collection of BluRay discs, and don't care all that much about HD, that's probably what I would do.

I am not sure just what a Roku is, but is its probably a digtial system using HDMI outputs, this unit handles Analog only, so I don't think it is going to work

We haven't actually be able to use it, as shortly after buying it, we bought a smart TV with 4 HDMI switches, enough for all we needed, since it eliminated the need to the Roku to be hooked up anymore. Sorry I can't be more helpful. I'm pretty certain my husband has the antenna hooked to something different, not HDMI.

I believe this was the "premium" version of the original player. It has all of the various available connection input/output ports (unlike Roku 2), so unless your T.V. is 30 years old (or older) it should work for you. P.S. - T.V.s are super cheap these days, so you may want to shop for one of those first ;)

Not a clue.....I don't own this; bought it for someone else. But, I'd imagine you'd hook it as any previous DVD player; don't your TV's instructions give you a clue. The plugs are all color coded. Best of luck!!
