Digital camera reviews of Optical Splitter
Digital camera Review: Bad Quality Control
Summary: 1 Stars
This item does work both directions, and would have worked for me, IF the single end would accept the optical male end properly. It works if I giggle and hold it together properly.
Luckily I have 3 digital inputs on my receiver, one being a digital coax. My HD-DVD player has optical only, my PS3 has optical only, luckily my DVR-cable box has digital coax out. So I am set, and don't care to spend the money returning the item.
Needs better quality control.
Digital camera Review: Be Careful
Summary: 1 Stars
Understand how your devices are working prior to purchasing this item if you are attempting to use it as a 2-1 (2 outputs to 1 input) solution for your A/V receiver. It did not work in my case because the item does not block any signals. So, if you have a device like I do that doesn't turn off the optical signal when not in use (my DirecTV HD-DVR), it will not work correctly since the signal gets mixed/corrupted.Digital camera Review: Be careful - may not work for you

The basic premise behind the splitter is sound. But remember that it is splitting the light signal, so each half only get 50% of the original "intensity" of the light. Some devices are sensitive enough to work with the diminished light, some are not. For example, my Denon receiver worked just great. My Tritton AX360 XBOX headphones DO NOT WORK AT ALL with the splitter. It's hit or miss.Digital camera Review: Buyer Beware!

When I received this product, it simply did not work. I strongly suggest that you purchase an optical "Toslink" splitter/switch from another manufacturer.Digital camera Review: Cheap, but has issues
Summary: 3 Stars
I had issues using this as a 2-input 1-output device for my digital audio outputs from PS3 and HD DVR cable box (output to my Sony home theater system). PS3 output didn't work when the cable output was hooked in, but not vice versa. I am stuck to manual switching for now :(
