    Do you have an AB switch for a component connection that would switch between VCR, DVD, and TV?

    To clarify, you're looking for a 2-port component switch that will allow you you to use your TV to view (and switch between) your VCR and DVD, right?

    I have a Smart TV, Charter DVR, DVD, and VCR. I want to be able to switch between all four.

    Apparently I need to use stereo A/V cables with color codes red and white (video), yellow (sound).

    I'm not sure what a '2-port component switch' is.

    I hope that helps.

    [​IMG]Initially you asked for a switch with 'component connection'. Component is easily identified by its Red/Green/Blue RCA connectors for video PLUS Red/White RCA connector for audio.
    If you have this type of connectors on all four of your pieces of equipment then you could use the 3-Play TOSLink/Component Selector Switch.

    If, instead, you have composite connections (which consist of Yellow RCA connector for video and Red/White RCA connector for audio), then you could use the 3-Play TOSLink, S-Video/Composite Selector Switch.
