I use a Recoton V612 switching box for my system.  It has 6 inputs and 3
outputs.  The outputs are all amplified and the switching is done 
electronically (ie push a button to select the input, then push another
button to select the output, with an LED matrix to show the current
connections).  (I used to have a RS non-amplified switcher, which had a
tendency to create interference between the outputs.)

Any input can be connected to any output and you can even connect multiple
inputs to one output (although this does not produce any useful results).

I have been very happy with the performance of this unit.  However, Recoton
seems to have a high infant mortality rate -- I had to exchange the first
unit after one day of use and I have had similar experiences with other
Recoton equipment.  For this reason I do not recommend mail order purchases
for their products.
