I have various S-Video and Compnent devices connected to my JX-333 AV Selector. My monitor in a Sony WEGA connected via Component. So, some of my S-Video devices are being converted to Compoenent output. All is well with my S-Video streaming media center and my S-Video Digital Cable Box. BUT, my S-Video computer video capture/playback card is causing me problems. The card is a high end Aurora Video Systems Pipe (uncompressed SD) running on a Mac. When I first power on all devices and switch to Input #1 (the Pipe card), playback is fine. After switching to another input and then back to #1, the palyback is black and white, someimes with occasional flashes of color. Turning the 333 on and off, resolves the problem temporarily.
I have verified that the S-Video cable is good. I have also plugged in the Pipe's output directly into a S-Video input on my monitor and playback is fine (in color).

reading your description twice it definitely sounds like your switch is the problem.
if JVC can't give you a solution, why don't you connect the Pipe permanently to the S-Video input of the monitor and select it this way? but just thinking aloud not knowing your setup...
