Digital camera reviews of Optical Splitter
Digital camera Review: Doesn't work
Summary: 1 Stars
Splitter doesn't work any way I try to connect it. Even with a cable coming into it, a cable coming out of it, and leaving the other output blank, no good. Also no good if you try to flip it backwards. I can see a light through the cable, but it doesn't seem to be strong enough to be picked up by my HT system. I would not recommend this productDigital camera Review: Didn't work
Summary: 1 Stars
I was attempting to do the same thing as the other two individuals in these reviews. Using the item as a switch, as advertised, and taking two signals, an xbox360 and a pc optical into 1 that went into my sony reciever. Double checked all my audio cables and I am not sure if I got a dud or what but I could not get the item to work in anyway. Not sure what the deal is, but the item just didn't work. Doubled check to make sure no signals were constantly transmitting as stated in the third review. I could actually take the two ends of the optical cables, the one from the xbox360 and the one running from the reciever and hold them up to each other and the sound would come thru, as soon as I put both cables into the unit the sound would stop, it seems to me this shows an issue with the laser relay thru the unit.Digital camera Review: Junk
Summary: 2 Stars
I have had some time with this now and it is junk. I don't know why. It is a simple device but the signal would just not work occasionally and that is unacceptable. I don't want to have to keep going to the back of the cabinet and wiggle wires. I would just be listening to audio and then it would stop working. I wanted to use this for piping a PS3 and 360 fiber to my 5.1 headset. It seemed more convenient than the fiber switches. Guess what I am buying to replace this.Digital camera Review: Garbage, don't buy
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought two and both arrived broken. I returned them and the replacements arrived quickly. But they too arrived broken. These are simple items. It is just two optical cables combined into one. But the materials are so inferior that they just break. I just don't know how you can make these so unreliably, but these folks are going out of their way. I don't know how you can make these things to just break when you hook them up. These are inexpensive, but just don't waist your money.Digital camera Review: Glad it works
Summary: 4 Stars
Heres my quick review,I was aprehensive seeing some negative reviews but I hooked it up and it works just as they said it would.
Of coarse whatever its being shared with needs to be off so drill that into the heads of the little ones(kids).
You will also need an optical cable because it just doesnt plug into the back of the receiver, But the same page that had the splitter for sale had the optical cable for 1 penny! yes 1 penny how can you go wrong!
I am into day number 2 of using the setup with my ps3 everthing A-OK
Good Luck!
