Component Selector w/Remote and Digital Optical 3-In 1-Out Review

Component Selector w/Remote and Digital Optical 3-In 1-Out
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Used the selector purely for its ability to choose which toslink optical connection to use on my Logitech Z-5500 speakers (which only has one input). Looks great and is way better than my TV's output, which only replicates the HDMI audio signal to a 2.1 output. This selector passes through the original signal which is great for surround sound on Blu Ray, Xbox 360, cable tv, etc. You can also turn this unit off, which is a plus, as others I've seen stay on all the time.

Its really over priced, i advise every one to think million time before buying it. it is only switch and not even matrix, does not have any other feature.

Any other AV reaciever e.g. Denon can do the same with much more features, i highly advice the manifacturer to consider the price to be at max US $ 150 ~ 200

Psyclone PSC47 HDMI Switch Switcher Review

Psyclone PSC47 HDMI Switch Switcher
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a simple solution to a nagging problem: not enough inputs on my HDTV and AV receiver. The problem is really more complicated than that: I have an old rear projection HDTV that has a single DVI input and an old AV receiver that does not have HDMI inputs at all. I was getting along by routing signals--HDMI, component, and optical audio--all over and setting up a Harmony 676 remote to control everything. It works but is very user unfriendly. If one of the setup signals is blocked, the system would be a mess and my wife would call me to "fix the TV." Clearly, leaving the TV and receiver in a default mode and switching inputs is the way to go.

Enter the Psyclone PSC47. This may be the only HDMI switch that also switches optical audio, too. People who only need to add additional HDMI inputs will probably find that the other HDMI switches are smaller and cheaper and are all that's needed. But for those who also need to switch optical audio, this is a godsend. It's set up so that the HDMI and optical audio from each device are sent to the switch. The HDMI output is then put through a DVI adapter connected to the TV. The optical audio is sent to the AV receiver. That's it. It's simple and works. I've been leaving the PSC47 on, but it could be switched on with the AV receiver.

This system also allows names to be added to the different inputs. It's a little painful entering all the characters but is worth the effort when finished. This system works similarly to the Psyclone PSC01, which is a component video switcher I use to switch among different gaming systems (Wii, V.Smile, and V.Smile Baby).

There really aren't any negatives. The display lights up but then turns dark after a few minutes. Some may prefer it to always remain on. The gain on each input is adjustable but I haven't needed to change any yet. Definitely recommended if you require optical switching. Worth getting if under $50 for those who only need to switch HDMI signals.

Product Description:
Do you find yourself running out of HDMI inputs on your receiver or HDTV? If you're like me, then the answer to that question is probably a resounding yes. The coming of HDMI greatly simplified home theater systems by combining the video and audio (and control) signals into a single cable. However, this simplicity also brings a problem to consumers. As more and more devices embrace HDMI, we're running into a problem of a limited number of HDMI inputs on receivers and HDTV sets. You could get around this by buying a high end A/V receiver with four HDMI inputs but these receivers are typically rather expensive. Could we solve this by connecting to an HDTV? Problematic there also as many HDTV's only have one or two or at most three inputs. What do you do then when you have an HDMI enabled cable box, PS3, and Xbox 360 and you only have two HDMI inputs to work with? You add an HDMI switch into the picture of course. Features of the Psyclone PSC47 include the following:?Four 1.3 HDMI inputs and one output?Four digital optical audio inputs and one digital optical audio output?Customizable LCD display for individualized input titles?Standard component sized steel chassis with brushed aluminum front panel?Gold plated HDMI connections?Measures 411 mm x 242 mm x 50 mm?Small remote controlThe PSC47 is a unique HDMI switch in that it comes with four optical audio inputs (TOSlink). This is especially useful if you have an older receiver that doesn't have any HDMI inputs but does have optical audio inputs.
