Connectivity Help

I have a 40" LCD and have a Wii,XBOX 360 and a PS£ to connect to it, I currently use the HDMI to connect the PS3, the COMPONENT to connect the XBOX360 and a standard 3 phono connection to connect the WII. I would like to use the COMPONENT output from the WII but only have one set of COMPONENT phonos on my TV set, would i get away with using 5 phono splitters inot the one connection on my TV, Or does anyone know of a suitable splitter. all the other SCART connections on the TV are utilised by other bits of KIT.............any ideas chaps

Do NOT use splitter to combine two sources to one input.

The clue is in the name SPLITTER they are intended to split one output to two inputs which is OK. But under no circumstances whatsoiever should you use them in reverse to combine two outputs to one input.

At the very least you will get a totally screwed up picture. At worst you could damage the equipment you are connecting.

If you want to feed two or more outputs to a single input you must use a switch. Something like this would do the job. Not cheap though (70 quid)

I have no doubt you could find something cheaper with a bit of googling.
