Any risk to using a Y-connector for DVD & VCR video input to TV?

My TV only has one set of RCA's for input. I've connected my DVD player and VCR via a Y-connector to the TV. Since only one unit will be on at a time, it seemed OK, but I do wonder if there's any risk of the vid signal at the output jack of the inactive unit causing trouble.
