Hi everyone!

I've searched, but have been unable to find an answer to my question.

I have an Onkyo A/V Receiver that has two TOSLink inputs available, but I have three devices that I'd like to use that output via TOSLink. Only one of the three will be on at one time.

Is there anywhere I can get a switch (or a joiner) that would automatically accept the correct input and output it to one TOSLink?

I hope that makes sense. THANKS so much in advance!

Audio Authority makes one:

If you wanted to use an IR remote control to switch sources, there are other options such as this Digital Audio Switch from Inday:

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but is anyone aware of any alternatives to the two linked above? They are far more elaborate (and expensive) than I would need.

I'd like to get something which only had 3 or 4 inputs, and Toslink only (no Coax). I would hope that would bring the price down at least a bit. Automatic or remote controlled would be good.

Anyone have one of these devices? :)

Monoprice makes a 3 to 1 bidirectional Toslink switch. It's manual, but it only costs like $8. I've never seen any automatic or remote switch cheaper than the ones mentioned above.

If you want to use optical but your receiver only has coaxial inputs left, there are also Toslink to Coaxial digital converter boxes for $12 or so (Monoprice is out of stock, but Parts Express has them.)
