Personally, I just bought 2 RCA switchers, one for the front 3 channels and one for the back channels & subwoofer. Works fine. Cost me $20 all told.

^ Thanks! I never would have thought of that, having no experience with video games.
Is this an example of what you are talking about?:

That is the one I used for a long time with my A1 and Denon. Worked great. I don't have the A1 anymore, but still find it useful for its designed purpose of switching different component sources. Have all my main game systems in one cabinet hooked up to it now.
