I use this to connect all my video game systems and it works GREAT. I have not used the remote feature, but dollar for dollar this is the best switch out there. if you need 6 devices hooked up to a TV get it..... it is self powered and it has svideo and composite.. look around you won't find a 6 switcher, self powered for LESS. If the learning remote feature is important to you (it is not to me) subtract a star.
