How to switch between lots of digital components?

[dafish721]

I have an XBOX 360 and HD Tivo hooked up to my 3 year old Sony HDTV. It only has 2 componet conections which are both being used by the above. I am getting a Nintendo Wii and won't have a way to conect it digitally (audio or video). Does anyone have any reccommendations on a product that I can use that would solve my problem where I could switch between them all that could also be connected to my reciever which has one digital optical and one digital coax audio connection?

I'm not sure if they make a digital output for the Wii, but it's really a moot point. The Wii does not offer multi channel sound, so using the left and right analog RCA connections will not dramatically effect the sound. If you had the capability to connect it digitally, that would be preferable, but certainly not a necessity in this instance.

An AV Switch will do the trick:

The Wii does multi-channel sound (Dolby Pro Logic II).

If I have an older Denon AVR-3600 with just Dolby Digital would ouput the diital sound or would I need a reciever with DDII?

if you only need it for the picture walmart has a av switch with component jacks and rca for audio for $20 but id go with the optical for audio

DPL II is a matrix surround format. It will try to turn any 2 channel source into a multi-channel output. The Wii will also work with the orginal DPL codec, which was available on the Denon AVR-3600.
