Optical Miracle
(5 out of 5) by John D. Torres on Jan 20, 2008 (Keego Harbor, MI)After looking everywhere for a Fiber Optic switch, I was just about ready to give up until I remembered good ol' Amazon. And, BINGO! Here is what I was looking for exactly.
If you need to connect multiple devices that have fiber optic OUTS to a sound system that has only 1 fiber optic IN---this is what you need.
I hooked in my BluRay and DirectTV into this switch with the other end going into my Samsung surround system. Now, when I am watching TV, I toggle the switch to the DirectTV and Boom! It's on. Then when I watch a movie, toggle the switch the other direction and Boom! Sound is perfect.
No hassle. No problem. Easy to use. What more could you ask for?

frisbee switch works!
(5 out of 5) by K. Etheredge on Jun 27, 2008 (Lexington, KY)I called this a frisbee switch because its a little bit larger than a standard CD case. Despite its size, it works flawlessly. The dial mechanism operates on a pushbutton. Just push in the button, turn the dial, and listen to the satisfying "click" letting you know it is in place, ready for the next signal.
I tried to avoid a manual switch with a "Bi-directional" splitter which did not work for me. I have Logitech Z-5500 digital speakers with one optical input, and the light amplitude put out by the bi-directional splitter just wasnt enough to register with the optical port. Word to the wise, dont waste your money on a splitter, Use this switch! I wish I had known this earlier!

Works great!
(5 out of 5) by Jared Osterhage on Aug 20, 2007 (Georgia, USA)No more crawling behind my entertainment center to switch the toslink source between my Xbox 360 and my cable box! This product works great, I have noticed no attenuation of the sound quality since I began using this switch.

Works as advertised
(5 out of 5) by L. A. Stadel on May 29, 2008 (Houston, TX)Neither my PS3 or my XBox 360 Elite would work with my old optical coupler, leaving me to play musical toslinks with my receiver until I got this product. I can vouch that this selector works with both of those devices, and after a couple days, I haven't noticed any difference in sound quality over a direct connection.
In additon to the snap-in-place switch, the unit also has rubber feet, so it can be left on top of the tv stand for easy access.

Great product
(5 out of 5) by Ian K. Shaff on Dec 27, 2007 (Bremerton, Wa)It's nice to buy a product and get what you paid for. Also I have noticed no sound loss since hooking this up to my sat box and my Xbox 360.
