Ever since the 360 arrived, I’ve had a problem: one too many devices outputting component signals.自从360到达时，我有一个问题：一个太多设备输出分量信号。 But now I have it working in such a way that I don’t have to switch cabling in the back, which is what I’ve been doing for the last month.但现在我已经有工作在这样一个方式，我不必切换布线的背部，这是我一直在做的最后一个月。

I had put the PC running in via DVI, cable and DVD running in via component, VCR on RCA jacks, and all the game machines on an S-video switcher. 我不得不把在个人电脑上通过DVI接口，有线电视和DVD运行通过的组成部分，录像机的莲花插孔，和所有游戏机的S -视频切换。 The audio, in every case, runs to the surround sound system, but we only have one digital audio in on that (it’s old), so we use it for the DVD player since that’s the most likely case to want it.音频，在每一种情况下，运行的环绕声系统，但我们只能有一个数字音频在上（它的老） ，所以我们使用它的DVD播放机，因为这是最有可能的情况下想要。 Everything else just runs stereo.一切都刚刚运行的立体声。

Now, I have it set up this way:现在，我已成立这样说：

The VCR goes in on regular RCA video.不用的录像机在经常RCA视频。 Unchanged.不变。 I don’t think we are set up to record video on the VCR anymore, but who cares?我不认为我们正在建立视频记录的录像机了，但谁在乎呢？

The PC goes in on the regular PC monitor jack — the picture is indistinguishable from the DVI output from the video card anyway, because DLPs aren’t the sharpest for text anyhow.电脑不用在经常电脑显示器插孔-图片是区分的D VI输出的视频卡不管怎么说，因为D LPs不是最大的文字也不大。 This frees up the DVI jack.这释放出的的DVI接口。 The audio for the PC currently runs into the receiver directly.音频的PC目前运行到直接接收。

The cable box goes into an HDMI to DVI converter, and then in via DVI.在有线电视机顶盒进入一个HDMI到DVI转换器，然后在通过DVI接口。 The sound was already running separately into the receiver, so the lack of an audio signal on the DVI cable is no worry.声音已经单独运行的接收，因此缺乏一个音频信号的DVI接口电缆是没有担心。 The TV does have an HDMI input, and I could have gone HDMI straight through, but I already had a DVI cable, and Circuit City wanted a minimum of $130 for an HDMI cable.电视坏了有一个HDMI输入，我本来可以直接通过HDMI接口，但我已经有一个DVI电缆和电路城通缉最低为130美元的HDMI电缆。 Ugh.啊呀。 I am sure I can find them on the net for more like $50, but the adapter was only $34.99 and the picture looks great at 1080i, so…我相信，我可以找到他们的网，更象50美元，但只有适配器34.99美元和图片期待在1080i的伟大，所以...

This frees up a component input for the 360’s video signal, which I run at 1080i.这释放出一个组成部分投入为360的视频信号，而我在1080i的运行。

PS2, GC, DC, XB, and the 360’s audio all run into a 5 jack S-Video switcher. PS2的，气相色谱特区，预算外，以及360的音频所有运行到了5插孔S -视频切换。 I have the S-video cables for all of those consoles, so the S-video signal then runs into the TV and the audio to the receiver.我有S -视频电缆，所有这些游戏机，因此， S -视频信号然后运行到电视和音频接收器。

I also now have the Atari 8-bit emu running as a bootable Dreamcast disc, so that’s easier to get to.我还现在雅达利8位鸸鹋运行启动Dreamcast光盘，以便更容易获得。 In fact, I have a bootable MULE disc configured for four players.事实上，我有一个光盘启动MULE配置的四名球员。 Far more playable than using the PC to run the emulator… and playing MULE on a 50 inch widescreen with controllers from a few feet away is definitely the way to go!远远超过玩家使用的PC运行模拟器...玩MULE 50英寸宽屏与控制器从几英尺远肯定是要走的路！

CD and cassette (yes, we still have 500 cassettes we occasionally listen to, many of which are obscure singer-songwriters unavailable on CD) run into the remaining audio jacks on the receiver. CD和录音带（是的，我们仍然有500盒我们偶尔会听，其中有许多是掩盖歌手歌曲无法在裁谈会）运行到剩余的音频插孔的接收器。

Now, no more cable swapping.现在，没有更多的有线交换。 And I can hold out hope that the PS3 will have an HDMI output, so there I have room to grow.我可以抱有希望的PS3将有一个HDMI输出，所以我有成长空间。

But when the Revolution comes out, I think I’m screwed.但是，当革命出来，我想我拧。
