Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Optical Splitter
Customer Review: some extra notes
Summary: 5 Stars
there should be some clarification for this product. this splitter works exactly as it says, it will allow you to use one optical output to 'feed' more than one input device. it also works to allow you to plug more than one thing into a surround sound or A/V receiver BUT,
**** you can only use one device at a time****,
the other device MUST be turned off or NEITHER will work. if your having trouble and not getting any sound, unplug both devices and if the ends of both are glowing red, you need to turn one of them off or leave it unplugged. for example,i have a dish network DVR and even when it is "off" it still will have the optical output active, and will always glow red. some other devices will do this as well and when this is the case, this splitter will not work for you.
on another note, there is no signal loss with this splitter as some say. it does indeed split the light beam, but, optical outputs use a strong enough light beam to be split several times and/or be degraded by cheaper cables or dirty connectors and still work. for example i 'daisy chained' 2 of these together to provide 3 inputs to my surround sound receiver. i plugged my HTPC and the single side of the first splitter into the surround, and my PS3 and 360 into the the two ports on the second one and it all works perfectly as long as only one of the 3 was on at any one time. i had to unplug it and plug in the dish dvr when i wanted to use it though because it was always on.
last note,optical audio is DIGITAL meaning it works by signals being either "on" or "off" to communicate. as long as the signal gets there, it will work and be crystal clear. simple as that,. This applies to any digital connection, including HDMI, DVI, as well as Optical audio. a cheap $10 cable will work just as well as a $100 cable, with no noticeable differance as long as its solid enough to not have any broken wires or faulty connectors. ANALOG connections on the other hand (composite (red/white/yellow), component (red/blue/green) and VGA) CAN suffer interference caused by cheaper cables.
