99FLHRCI Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I have a Digital Audio out on my TV and one on my XBox 360. My receiver only has 1 input. Is there a device that will allow me to plug both into the receiver? Will a splitter do the job or does it only split signals? I only plan on having input from one at a time I just don't want to have to switch the cables themselves everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Buy a better receiver. I have a Harmon Kardon I will sell for a fair price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99FLHRCI Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 PM me a price and model number. I need a better receiver but, I have been trouble finding them in local stores. Seems like Home Theater systems are the new craze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Maker Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 A splitter will work I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the XBox only has optical... I assume you are thinking coax (RCA type). TJ, coax (RCA) or optical type? Or just buy a new receiver. You can get one that does HDMI with audio for cheap now a days. http://www.audioholics.com/buying-guides/how-to-shop/2010-entry-level-a-v-receiver-comparison-guide These are all from big name companies that you should be able to find some of at Best Buy, or at least online (for probably cheaper).

It is optical. I bought the 360 used and it came with a component/rca cable in one. There is a small black plug for digital. I am assuming it is only digital audio. I am looking into receivers now.

Trouble Maker Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 This just popped into my head again for some reason and I found these. Manual switch (optical audio) http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10423&cs_id=1042302&p_id=2946&seq=1&format=2 Optical to Coax digital audio converter. It sounds like you have 2 Optical audio sources. If you have 1 optical and 1 Coax digital audio input on your receiver, you can use this to convert 1 of the Optical to Coax and input it that way. Then you can still switch with the remote for the receiver and not have to manually switch it via the above method. http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10423&cs_id=1042302&p_id=2948&seq=1&format=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
