Having trouble hooking up multiple systems (New and Old)

[MovieSounds]

I have about eight old systems (atari 2600, Intellivision, TG16, Colegovision, etc.) that use the old single wire output.

Normally if you wanted to use just one, you'd plug it into a manual RF switch. Problem I'm having is....How do I hook them all up at the same time, so I don't have to continually keep swapping wires?
I've tried using RCA splitters (used 5 of them to hook all of them up into one single wire that plugged into the "Game" input at the top of the switchbox...no dice.

To make the solution more "interesting", I want to also add all the rest of my newer A/V game systems (PSX, N64, PS2, XBox, Dreamcast) to this as well.

Also, the TV I'm hooking all of this up to has one single coax connection in the back. Nothing else. So in a nutshell...I want to hook up pretty much every system I have to my TV that only has one coax connection.

Anyone have any idea how I can do this?

Absolutely no idea. I know of a couple of converters, but my method would require hooking several up together and that would be both messy and probably really bad for the quality of the signal.

Good luck.

I also forgot to mention that I am running a cable signal amplifier in the setup.

But basically, you're telling me it would just be a better idea to manually switch the inputs every time I want to play one of the old systems, eh?

I oughtta make this a sticky - it seems to come up once a month or so. Here's how I handle this dilemma:

With what I had in mind, yeah - but I really had little experience on the subject. Luckily for you, PDF did - so hopefully that guide will solve your problem.

Hmmmm.....dunno.

I have the latest large bodied PS2...the one with infrared and progressive scan. I could use the RCA cables when I bought it.

I installed the modem and harddrive......and all of a sudden the system does not recognize RCA cables....only an RF switch. Remove HDD and modem...no probs. Put them back in.....RF and mono sound time.

I have a pimped out PS2......that has to use an RF switch, so I get crappy sound. Sony has NO clue as to how to solve my problem. It's gotta be a hardware conflict that they didn't catch.

How's THAT for crazy?
