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.

Feeds three optical inputs into my old Onkyo Home Theater with only one optical input
I am using this Nyrius Optical toslink 3 Input Selector Switch to feed three optical inputs into my old Onkyo Home Theater with only one optical input.I bought this Optical switch three years ago and it works just fine … Being a manual switching device, expect it to even outlast my archaic Onkyo Home Theater and the 3 Optical feeds - an Apple TV (3rd gen), an optical disc changer and a cable tv box.Highly recommended …Hope my review was helpful … Jeffrey A.

Surprised this qualifies as Merchantable
I bought this after seeing the positive review composite for it and without many other options, I didn’t spend time to look at the negative ones or read the vague glowing recommendations. Whether this fails a month after you use it or never works at all, this product is not a valid solution for people looking for a digital audio switch.You can visibly tell how much signal you are losing when it passes through the switch by plugging in a lit device into one of the inputs and then looking into the output opening. The red light is incredibly dim(all three inputs were barely visible after passing through the switching mechanism) and by the time you pass it through another 6 feet of Toslink, you have nothing on the other end. I don’t think there was anything defective about mine other than the design. It has been a long time since I took optics, but the light is having to transition mediums 4 times before it gets converted using this and I would think that would cause a ton of degradation. I am going with a powered solution over passive.

I purchased this at a great price here on Amazon Warehouse Deals and combined it with the FosPower Digital Optical cables and this allowed the fiber optic signal for our sound system to have more inputs so the system could be used with local cable as well as programs with prime.
Works-ish, but not really…
The product “worked” in the sense that it did allow switching of two Toslink based optical audio sources, however it doesn’t do it perfectly.I haven’t torn the thing apart, but i’m guessing some kind of mirror is used to take one of the inputs and align it with the output. The reason why I even mention mirror is due to the fact that I don’t believe the inputs and output were properly aligned. This is due to the fact that I lost or even had to degrade the source signal in order for a connection to a receiver connected to the output to actually use the signal.For example, on one input, I was driving 96 kHz - 24 bit audio. On the other input, I was driving 48 kHz - 16 bit audio. When selected with the 96 kHz source, no audio was detected on the output. Not using the selector, this connection works just fine. Understanding that i didn’t really need 24 bit audio, I changed the output format to be 48 kHz 16 bit just as the other input was. Now, i could switch between input 1 & input 2 and have output audio detected, however the problems don’t end there. Now, with two 48 kHz sources, i could hear “blips” where the audio would drop for a split second using either input source, where i am guessing that the selected source isn’t being reproduced correctly at the output and is being dropped due to the output and input not being properly aligned.Overall, I can’t really recommend this product, as it doesn’t work as it was intended to, but works in the sense that you can select from multiple inputs and get one output.
Plastic Turd
My first impression was that it was very cheap and hollow feeling. It’s not like the whole concept of this thing is really complicated, it’s just a rotary switch to allow the optical beam through, so I didn’t think much of it. However, once it was hooked up I immediately noticed that the sound was stuttering/cutting in and out so bad that I couldn’t stand it.I was frustrated so I went off to do some other errands, but when I came back and turned on my entertainment center I had no sound. I noticed that as I handled the device, the sound would go on and off. TAP TAP TAP, and yep…this cheap plastic turd was so touchy! Well, I ordered cheap and I got cheap. Not even going to bother @ $15 to return the thing.Kudos to Amazon’s prime support. My first shipment with one of these got damaged by UPS (who hired steroid rage gorillas that throw packages around) and was deliverable. Amazon gave my free next-day, Saturday delivery! Thanks Amazon for being awesome…but stay away from this product!
Does what it should
Solved my problem of having to constantly pull audio cables, but theres no remote. Works great as long as you dont mind getting up every time.
Stopped workin after 4 months
Stopped working 4 months after buying it ,don’t know why, piece of junk if you ask me!
Product arrived broken.
This product arrived broken. Waste of five bucks. I would have been happier spending the money on a hamburger.
Didn’t work.
I got signal to come out once. but other than that it refuses to work. I had an old model that I purchased long ago and it worked great so I figured I’d give this a try.
Here is some speculation but it’s so light it feels just like a case with nothing inside
No power. Power cord doesn’t even fully plug into power socket. Here is some speculation but it’s so light it feels just like a case with nothing inside…
Does not work with my equipment
This does not work with my equipment. I can see the red light coming out of the appropriate holes, but it seems obvious (visually) that the signal is much less bright from…
Terrible quality
Stopped working within a month. Total garbage
Very happy with product
The switch has worked perfectly for 6 years now. Very happy with product.
Five Stars
works great
I would not recommend this and I would suggest you find better quality …
comments powered by DisqusWith in the first few days of getting this one of the ports got real touchy. And now another one is going. At this rate I will be back where I started.
