Digital camera reviews of Optical Splitter
Digital camera Review: Doesn't work (when it really should work)
Summary: 1 Stars
I want to connect the digital optical audio both my computer and my XBox to the same input on my audio receiver. (Only one device would be in operation at any given time.)
If I hold the optical cable from a device near the optical cable leading to the receiver, and aim the light, holding my hands steads, the audio works.
However, plugging both cables into the device resulted in silence.
So I returned the device, and got a replacement.
The replacement works better, but still not good. It plays audio for about a minute, then cuts out for a few seconds, then comes back, then cuts out... all without jostling the device or any cables.
My conclusion: The optics in this splitter are crap. Don't buy one.
Summary of Optical Splitter
This dual-purpose optical device works as both an optical switch and an optical splitter. As a switch, it will allow you to connect more than one input source to your home theater amplifier/receiver. Connect up to 2 audio sources and choose between them, rather than dealing with the hassle of constantly unplugging and reconnecting cables. Switch between digital audio components such as your satellite receiver, CD/DVD player, and video game console with ease. Just connect 2 of your audio sources to one end of this switch, and connect the other end to your amplifier/receiver. Then simply power on the source you would like to hear, and this device will auto sense it and begin outputting the audio to your amplifier/receiver. This device also works as an optical splitter. It will allow you to connect one digital audio input source, and split the signal to 2 home theater receiving devices. Now you can split the digital signal from your CD, DVD or other digital optical device and connect it to both your receiver and digital video recorder (DVR). This device is easy to use and does not require a power source, making it a must-have for any home theater enthusiast.Cameras and Photo
