 Doesn't Work July 6, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've tried this product and it simply doesn't work, the audio would not go through the device. Purchased a powered unit that works excellent wouldn't recommend purchasing this item.
 Worked great, died after 4 months July 5, 2008
I am using a Logitech Z-5500 sound system which has one optical input. I was trying to decide what to do to connect both my Playstation 3 & XBox 360 to it, and this was the trinket I used.
It worked great. I bought it the first week of Feb 08, but on July 4 it started shorting out while playing music through my PS3. I will be replacing it.
Pros: No need to manually swap cables, no noticeable quality loss, small and compact, visually pleasing, no need to manually set input, cheap but effective.
Cons: Will only work on one stream - I couldn't have my 360 & PS3 on at the same time, otherwise sound would only come out of whatever I turned on first - really isn't a con - but died after 5 months usage, however cheap to replace.
 Does exactly what I need! June 27, 2008

I bought this to use as a combiner (switch) because I had two audio devices outputting optical digital audio, but my AV receiver only had one digital audio input. I specifically didn't want a device with a manual switch because I didn't want to have to manually adjust that switch on top of already changing my TV input every time I wanted to go from watching TV to playing Xbox 360, or vice versa.
This device works perfectly for my application! Both of my audio sources go into the end with two inputs, and my AV receiver is hooked up to the end with one input (which I guess would make it an output?). If my Xbox 360 is outputting audio, the AV receiver plays that audio. If my cable box is outputting audio, the receiver plays that audio. The only caveat is that one of the devices *MUST* be turned off and not emitting any signal, because if the device is receiving two signals at once, nothing will come out of the receiver (as the signal will be a garbage combination of both inputs). This is fine for me, however, as I can easily have my cable box or Xbox off if I'm using the other device.
I see this product seems to have a lot of mixed reviews, and a lot of people claiming it doesn't work. It could have something to do with product defects, but mine seemed to be constructed well enough. Another problem I could foresee is that you need to make sure, if you're using this as a combiner, that only one audio source is being inputted to it at a time! Even if some devices are off, they could still be sending some kind of signal through the output (which you can easily tell by looking at the optical audio jack when it's off and seeing if its still got that red glow). To put it simply, if you got two audio signals going through, nothing will come out of this.
I also couldn't be happier with the price of this, especially when compared to the ridiculously priced switches that also include HDMI inputs and whatnot.

I have years of experience from working retail (display setups at work, and personal home theater setups). I followed the simple steps. There was no sound coming through. After a sound check without this, no problems were found. When I made second attempt to re-connect I here that usual crackle of sound trying to get through. After that I simply gave up and now looking for another type with a better reputation.
