Smart Guidance in Buying ViewHD SPDIF | TOSLINK Digital Optical Audio 3×1 Switcher

Posted by admin on in Home Cinema Systems

Bought one of these to allow for me to link the digital outputs of my two set prime packing containers and a game titles console to a single input on my new av receiver. It worked straight absent with no complications. Remote is practical but getting infra purple it does require a line of sight indicating that this will need to have to be on show somewhat than tucked away. Except you use a neet ir hub of study course.

This is a quite superior products and does accurately what it advertises. The only criticisms i have and non are incredibly severe are:-one. Such as shipping and delivery it is somewhat pricey for a miniature switch. Nonetheless there are not a lot of similar products offered. There is no indicator to convey to you which channel/output is chosen, although the remote control is truly quite great. The remote control sensor is at the conclusion of a jack cable which while useful in the feeling you can track down the box out of the way is a tiny aesthetically unpleasing. Nevertheless all in all i would suggest it as it is so convenient and conserve a ton of cable handling and swapping.

Will work correctly with my panasonic encompass seem procedure. On the glimpse out for an car-switching design or probably a mixer as you have to manually flip the input channels. Took a when to arrive, but packaged properly.

Made use of 10m from cabinet below the stairs up. Made use of 10m from cupboard under the stairs up driving coving down the wall and back again to the tv set alongside with other pretty reasonably priced 10m cables of several forms all from amazon. After remaining recommended by the person from richer seems that i will need £60 hdmi cables etc. Really don’t squander your cash on so named high priced cables primarily if you have to have very a number of of them. Anything is suitably shielded and operating beautifully.

I bought this mainly because of a dilemma with my sonos playbar – it will never output dd or dts through the optical direct. I have a sky box, a sony blu ray player and a panasonic tv. I also have a television set with a sky magic eye in the bedroom enabling to enjoy whatever is on the tv downstairs. The sky box (enter 2 offers dd), tv set (input 1 – gives stereo) and blu ray participant (input 3 – gives pcm as the playbar cannot take care of dts) all feed into the switcher and the output cable goes to the playbar. I can use the remote control to switch the resource and the switcher is nicely tucked absent out of sight. You may be wondering why i pointed out the tv upstairs – the reason is that if my wife is seeing tv upstairs then i typically stream audio to the playbar but if she variations channel then the playbar defaults to the television set input so i leave it on input 1 most of the working day and there is no adjust to my songs stream when she alterations channel but transform to enter two for plans with dd by which time we are ordinarily observing tv jointly. The gadget was simple to set up but i had to get a us to british isles plug travel adaptor to go with it. Ordered on the 1th december and it arrived on the twentieth.

    Great compact optical audio switcher. Without a dedicated av receiver, my blu-ray surround system has to do double duty for managing audio inputs from my sky hd box, htpc and tv (for audio from chromecast attached to tv hdmi)i have 2 spdif (optical) inputs on my blu ray system but three audio inputs from my tv, htpc and sky box. Previously i would have to plug/unplug one of the spdif inputs to change audio inputs. If you haven’t done this often, aligning optical spdif cables and plugging them in to the rear of a device is a real painthe audio switcher is a diminutive box which now hides behind the bd player. I have installed the included ir receiver to switch using the remote included in the package. Its been 3 months and the device is working great with no issues at all. Do note that it needs a separate power source to work.

    Excellent one that works 100% no loss of quality, solved all my connection problems.

      No need to use the ir sensor and remote so long as you don’t mind getting up to press the button to change the input. It’s a shame it doesn’t auto-switch, but you can’t have everything.

    Better than a left ventricle. This linky has increased my corpulence enormously by removing the need to occasionally arise from my flop to switch sound sources for my old school system. I’m eating cheeseb’s to maximise the opportunity.

      Now i can use my analogue audio amplifier and stereo speakers to provide excellent sound from the digital audio output of my tv. For me a much better solution than the expense or clutter of digital sound bars.

    Item works exactly as advertises and has successfully connected 3 digital inputs to one input on my amp. There doesn’t seem to be any loss on sound quality from any of my devices and the remote is simple and we’ll designed. Best of all, the ir sensor can be placed separately and allows the actual switch box to be hidden out of sight.

        A fantastic product that saves swapping cables into your surround sound input. I have my sky, ps4 and ps3 into the three inputs. I wish i’d bought one earlier. Loads better than a manual and they all work.
