Three significant problems with this product that you need to be aware of.
First, I can confirm the flickering problem mentioned in another review. It causes my projector to lose the signal and start switching through inputs trying to reacquire it.
Second, there is a problem with either the Xbox 360 cable that comes with the switcher, or with the TOSLink (fiber optic digital audio) generator in the switch itself. Either way, the audio from my 360 pops in and out randomly, yet all my other TOSLink audio connections that pass through the switch (but don't originate from it) sound fine.
Third (and in my opinion most importantly), the Joytech box causes noticeable signal noise on my display. I know it's the switch causing the interference, because when I cut it out of the loop, everything looks great, but when it's connected there's a lot of obvious shimmer and noise in the picture.
Clearly if you're looking at this product, it's because you have several high def sources that you want

This works great for the xbox 360 and other components (DVD player). However be warned that there are major problems when using PS3 or
Wii. When there is a bright scene such as when watching a movie with a bright scene on bluray or on the start up screen on the wii, the screen goes off and you will see horizontal bars for a few seconds. I have contacted customer support. They are aware of this issue but there is no current fix. Here is their response.
"We are experiencing a few compatability issues regarding the 540C and the newer consoles.
There are rumours going round that Joytech are manufacturing an adaptor to work with the Wii, if this will also work with the PS3, will be tested, however, nothing has been confirmed from Joytech at the moment.
Please keep an eye out on the website"
So if using PS3 or wii not recommended. Everything else the control center works great.
Addendum: there is flickering problem even when using a regular dvd. I am using rear projection TV. Maybe the problem
