I've been using this AV selector normaly for almost exactly one year, and it did fine untill recently, the inputs on the back began failing. The design of the back panel is poorly thought out, the top row of plugs are under a plastic lip, leaving too little space between plugs and lip, that is purely cosmetic, and when I plugged a "Monster" cable into one, it quickley failed, because of the constant pressure. I say failed because it stopped processing the signal properly and gives a distorted image. I am buying a different selector. | 2 | Today | Stay Away!
This is a horrible, horrible AV selector. Let me tick off the cons:
-poor remote distance
-sloppy signal to the tv (distortion and interference artifacts)
-the color of the plastic doesn't match the plastic of the xbox
-the xbox's rubber "feet" don't touch the selector, so the xbox sits on it's bottom surface, making the whole thing drone like crazy.
-the storage shelves are awkwardly arranged and it's hard getting games out of the cheap sleeves.
-generally cheap construction
now the pros:
-the green backlit buttons match the ring of light on the xbox
Don't end up like me; with a crappy AV selector in the back of a closet. It's so bad I would feel bad selling it on ebay to some unsuspecting gamer. | 1 | Today | DO NOT BUY!
This is a terrible, horrible, mangled pile of plastic and metal that no person should ever touch. I hooked up 4 different component devices and every one looked awful. The picture was distorted and cut off, it jumped by about 20-30 pixels like it was vibrating, and the picture was in BLACK AND WHITE for two of them. However, since I used the 3 fiber-optic digital sound inputs instead of the RCA jacks, those actually transferred the sound signal. Whooo. This thing is very cheaply made and simply does not do what it should. Even the remote is a flimsy piece of garbage.
I am completely dumbfounded as to how this product was actually designed, manufactured, and shipped to stores with these problems. Did NO ONE test it? This kind of lazy, careless craftmanship has taught me NEVER to buy anything made by Intec again. Please don't learn from your own mistake, learn from mine and don't buy this piece of garbage. | 1 | Today | Huge disappointment!
Was excited at the prospect of a component video selector with multiple digital audio inputs. While the digital audio works fine (the only reason I gave this two stars), the component inputs degrade just like the previous reviewer mentioned. What's the point of having this if you have to put up with these picture "hiccups"?! Not recommended unless you have another brand of selector for the video and only use this for the digital audio... | 2 | Today | WARNING... Video corruption at 1080i
I purchased two of these units for my Xbox 360 and my Hitachi rear-projection HDTV. While the Xbox 360 works beautifully at 1080i when connected directly to the TV, the video gets corrupted during the bootup and various games when the component video signal is routed through the Intec AV Selector. It happened less at 720p and hardly at all at 480p. It appears the signal either gets degraded or interfered with at higher bandwidths. Nevertheless, it's a major disappointment. If you're not dealing with component video, this item would be a gem. Also note that while it's curved to form-fit the concave shape of the Xbox 360, neither unit I bought cleanly lined up and the Xbox's rear rubber feet didn't reach the platform of the AV Selector. Lastly, the unit does not convert any video signals (i.e. component to composite video, video to S-Video, etc.) and the manual offers the solution to an audio passthrough and recommends adapters not included in the package. | 3 | Today |
