I need help. My husband is deployed so I'm bored and decided he needed a Star Wars room that would be just as impressive as my Transformers room. I also want to put the betamax, CED player, laserdisc player, atari, nintendo, and genesis in there. I have a Japanese version Panasonic CRT tv that has weird hookups, and only like 1 AV port. The simplest solution would be to buy a large AB switch and I am hoping that adapters exist for these items so they can be converted to AV. Do these types of adapters exist, and if so where do I look?

What exactly do you mean by AV - that just means Audio Video, and thats not really a reference to any particular type of video connection on a TV. I'm guessing you have at least a composite input (video via one rca cable, audio via two), but maybe you should take a picture so we could better help.

I own one of these:

Couldn't be happier, converts all of my composite signals to S-Video and has loads of inputs that switch between only two outputs (one S-Video and one Component).
He/She still hasn't replied as to what inputs the tv actually has. Theres not really many "weird" hookups a japanese CRT could have - a 21 pin adapter? Maybe some bnc connectors? Maybe even a d-terminal? One of these things has to be better than whatever you are trying to say with "av port"
