Keith,<SPAN class="604082514-09062002"><FONT
face="Arial" color="#0000ff"
size="2">&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN><BR><BR>Been
thinking about the switcher today and thought I'd mention a
feature<BR>that could be very useful - the ability to route the audio
and video<BR>from a source independently.<BR><BR>Why
would anyone want that?<BR>Well, if I'm listening to my
audiotron/rio/slimp3 and want to change<BR&g
t;music, it would be nice if I could route the s-video out from the
music<BR>server and the music out from the audio device to the TV so
I can<BR>control it _and_ listen to it at the same time.<BR>I
wouldn't want to have a single source that is the audio source's
audio<BR>+ the PC video signal because I would want to use the PC
video signal<BR>for other audio devices controlled by the PC which
are connected to the<BR>switcher, and it would seem a bit silly to
split the PC video signal<BR>into multiple outputs before plugging
into the switcher when the<BR>switcher can do this
anyway......<BR><BR>What do you think?<BR>Probably
already down as a feature I'd imagine :)<BR><BR>Oh, and are you
thinking of scart sockets again, or separate phono +<BR>svideo
inputs?<BR><BR><BR>Cheers,<BR><BR><BR>Tony<BR><BR></TT><BR><TT>To
