This device worked perfect for me.I have an HD DVD player and a Blu-Ray with a collection of movies in each format. The Nyrius allowed me to watch all of them with perfect sound through my system.The price was way lower than anything that I could get locally.

Product Description:
Get more hookup flexibility for your digital components with this versatile, high quality Digital Optical Selector Switch. This 3-Way Digital Optical Selector Switch lets you connect up to three different optical digital components to a component with only one optical digital input. The selector allows you to switch from one component to another just by turning the selector dial - no more disconnecting and connecting cables or moving equipment around. You can play any of the three components you connect and enjoy the output through your home theater system. There are four optical digital jacks. The output jack connects to the main unit to which you would like to expand the number of optical jacks (normally a digital audio/video receiver/amplifier). The three input jacks connect to the source devices and allow you to output digital audio to your main unit. Switch easily between sources instead of disconnecting and reconnecting cables when needing to change inputs. The compact design will fit in tight areas between components. Works with the following digital audio components: home/portable digital audio components with optical connection, MP3/CD/DVD player including Blu-ray/HD DVD, video game consoles (PS3/XBOX360), computer sound card, cable/satellite receiver to your home theater system with a digital optical input. Operation: To hear your connected sources through your home theater system, turn on your home theater system and the audio source you want to hear. Then, press in the lock release button on the selector's dial and rotate the dial to the indicator corresponding with the source you want (1,2, or 3). A green indicator shows which of the three units is selected (only one can be selected at a time). Release the button to lock the selector in place. The sound from the selected source comes through your home entertainment system's speakers. This bundle also includes a bonus 6 foot toslink to toslink fiber optic digital audio cable.

Recoton Digital Audio Selector Switch Review

Recoton Digital Audio Selector Switch
Average Reviews:

I bought this unit because I do not have enough optical inputs on my receiver.It accomplished it's purpose for a relatively low price.However you have to get up and manually change the switch for the device that you are using.With my receiver t was quite cumbersome because I also had to change the video device that the recever was assigning to the optical port.After hours and hours of research I also purchased a "copperbox" that also switches the video with the audio.This is a more expensive option but for my purposes it was worth the extra money.I am still going to use the Recoton product for an input that the Video does not pass through the receiver.

TosLink 1 x 2 Optical Audio Splitter Adapter Review

TosLink 1 x 2 Optical Audio Splitter Adapter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was very skeptical when buying this spliiter/switch after seeing so many bad reviews. It worked for me after little trial and error and here is what I found. For all those who complained that these splitters/switches do not work, this is what you need to do to get it right. I bought this splitter from eforcity, so I cannot say about those shipped by other sellers.... It works both ways i.e. as a splitter and as a switch.

1. For it to act as a switch, the critical thing is that only one source needs to be ON. Some sources send signal even when on stand by mode. To check whether it sends out signal, just plug one end of the toslink cable into port of the source(cable box, ps3, etc) and check the other end for red light. when on stand by, the light should not be lit.

2. The second most important thing for this splitter/switch to work is the length of the cables used. I used all 1.5 ft cables and they work perfectly. Earlier I had 3 ft cables coming out of the cable box and ps3 to the splitter and then 1.5 ft cable to the home theater. The ps3 did not work but cable box worked (not consistently though) as the signal attenuated too much by the time it reached the home theater receiver. I am not sure if there is a shorter cable than 1.5 ft and it would be great if you do have them. 1.5 ft cables work fine. I got the 1.5 ft cables from RiteAV.

Finally, the basic test to see if it works is to check for the red light after the connections. Connect in the way shown below and check for the light near the * before connecting to the receiver. Make sure only one source is ON at a time. If you see light and it still does not work after plugging into the receiver then it means that the signal attenuated too much and your receiver cannot pick it.

source 1 -->
...................splitter -->* receiver
source 2 -->

--> = 1.5 ft toslink cable
ignore the dots...

Good luck!.
