additional digital audio inputs?

You can get an s-video splitter, or run your cable box directly to your monitor if it has two inputs.

Actually I was concerned about the digital audio inputs. I have plenty of component inputs on my tv.

I'm not sure that Artisan actually read your post.


Anyway, there are optical switch boxes that are a reasonabel price. Your local Radio Shack probably has one and they can easily be found online including eBay. Some are auto-sensing, others use a manual push button or remote selection. Prices range from about $25 to over a hundred for switches that include more than just optical (ie. optical, component, ethernet from Pelican).


No personal experience here, but I have heard they work fine.

Oops. Sorry, I did read that post too fast. I agree with Version.

My HD digital cable box from TWC has what they call pass though jacks, including toslinkand digital audio jacks, (as well as composite video, component, svideo, and composite audio). I hook my sons x-box into the cable box. When you turn the cable box off, whatever is in the bypass inputs goes through the box to the TV. Maybe you have similar inputs on your cable box?

YES...

There are separate digital switchers available..

Here is a link to Radio Shack's website, they have show a model 15-1586 that permits 4 optical inputs and 1 output. Cost is

If you want remote control of the switching, Inday makes a nice product:

Thanks for the replies.


I will check my cable box and see if it has any pass through jacks. If not, it looks like the digital optical selector is a very cost effective solution.
