Digital camera reviews of Optical Splitter
Digital camera Review: Does not work! Stay away!
Summary: 1 Stars
I was going to combine my Samsung 46 LCD and my Samsung Blueray to a Samsung receiver with single optic input. Both units going the receiver great on their own. Also work placing both optic cables end to end, but no signal is going through the spliter. The light goes through fine, but maybe cables are not close enough to the optic lines in the spliter and the signal scaters!!???
Anyway it don't work for me. Will have to try someting else.

This product does on work at all. Forget about splitting - it does not work period!.
1 Input - 2 output: does not work
2 Input - 1 out : does not work
1 in - 1 out : does not work
When I looked at the light beam inside I realized that the optical cable had 1 light beam coming out - however when you use the splitter you see 2 light beam - so not sure if that is an issue.
Individual who reported it worked for them - not sure how they were able to make it work.

Like others have said the product does not work.
It states that attenuation is zero but it is not. No matter which direction I tried and which brand of cable (tried two) it could not make the Onkyo receiver detect the audio from Tivo HD. I only had two cables connected, one to the input and the other one to one of the outputs.
Cables were good and the total length was not an issue as demostrated by a simple test of holding the ends close together to allow the light to pass from one to the other. When I did that, the receiver detected the audio.
Ended up buying the remote controlled switcher from Cables to go.
I think I will return it just to give them trouble of refunding me.

Tried to use this to connect a XBOX 360 and a PS3 to a Onkyo HT-S570 5.1 system (has 1 optical input). It did not work. The cables work fine connect to the receiver but not using the splitter. What I found out after playing with it for a bit, is if you move cable around (left to right) it would sometime make a full connection and work, then after you move the cable, it would not work. Only 1 unit was on at a time, and only 1 cable was lit (red light) up. I may have received a bad splitter, but it did not work. Even with just 1 cable plugged into both ends, it could not make a prefect connection. I ended up buying a Onkyo HT-SR700 system from amazon, and it sounds amazing!!

I actually bought this product based on another review here. Like that other reviewer, I needed it to do the reverse of what it's advertised for. I wanted to combine two separate source inputs into a single receiver.
I have a media PC and a DVD player with the same optical outs and I only have one Dolby Digital receiver with one optical input. The splitter (or in this case, combiner) works great.
I was curious to see what happens if you run both digital inputs at once (ie will you get sound corruption and digital audio artifacts or some kind of mixing of the signals) so I tried it out. Interestingly enough, neither happened. The splitter will only produce one signal at a time and it's whichever signal started first. The other signal is ignored.
Anyway, if you need an optical signal splitter/combiner, this one fits the bill very nicely.
