I tell you, it's a cracking bit of kit.
It works with all my consoles and saves masses of hassle as you don;t have to manually switch inputs or ever plug anything in again.
I recommend that you put the least used console in the highest slot, then work back from there.
If you're plugging in a VCR, use the specific slot for it as it's two way.
A great feture for those with 5.1 decoders built into their DVD players is that the Smart-SCART PLUS blanks the video from the DVD player whilst still allowing it to process the sound if it senses video input from a higher slot.
It feeds the video from the other device to the telly and then takes the audio stream and passes it through the DVD's 5.1 decoder, giving you surround sound without the need for another decoder, cool eh?
Do these things work with RGB SCART inputs? That is, if I connected, say, a PS2 and an Xbox 360 (both with RGB SCART cables) into that little box, then connected the box to the RGB SCART cable of the TV (seeing as the TVs I've used only have one socket that is RGB capable), would the TV "see" them as RGB? I've noticed quite a difference between using an RB SCART socket and a regular one.
Do you mean RGB from your consoles?
Have a look at the image on this page of the review:

The three inputs at the bottom of the picture are from top to bottom, the XBox 360, PS2, GameCube.
They would only be composite inputs though (in that picture). RGB can only be done with a Scart cable (or better, I'd assume), and an RGB Scart socket on the TV. That is, the standard Scart cable that comes with the PS2 can't do RGB, regardless of whether it's plugged into an RGB Scart socket or not. I had to buy the RGB cable myself.
Kind of hard to explain...hopefully that makes some sense.
I've passed your questions on to the Bluedelta guys, if anyone knows, it'll be them!
Hehe, thanks, sorry to cause any trouble! Just curious because something like this would be ideal for having a 360 and a PS2 connected up to a TV, both using the single RGB Scart socket. Having the other console just using the other Scart socket on the TV means a loss of image quality.

Looks like a yes!
That's the Smart-SCART, the smaller one... but if it does it on that, I reckon it's safe to assume it does it on the PLUS too...
But on having a dig in the product info page located here
It says: "CVBS and RGB all SCART ports"
it's a YES to RGB through put for your telly then
Cool, thanks guys. Hope this helps some other people too.
