Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack Remote Control A/B Switch.Your switchlets youconnect two 75-ohm VHF/UHF/Cable sources to your television with only one 75-ohm jack without mixing the signals. You can connect sources such as broadcast TV, cable TV, a VCR, or a video game system, and switch between the sources without leaving your seat.
