Can I use this JUST for audio (toslink) switching, or do the ports require a video connection (power to the indivudual port) to work with digital audi

That's exactly how I use mine. No video, only audio, all toslink. Works great. No signal loss that I can hear. Remote is cheap, but that is standard these days.Marck

I haven't tried that setup specifically, but I do not see why that wouldn't work. The ports all switch together so their is no knowledge by the unit that you are not using the video ports.

Yes. It worked for me. But the TV must output PCM (not Dolby Digital.) My TV's TOSLINK output is going thru a 2-way splitter. One to Soundbar and one to Sennheiser headset via Sanoxy converter.

Hello,I am not sure as to wether or not that particular connection will work, the size of the male end of the cable is the same as any standard A/V cable (red & white) so if that size fits in your audio out its a cheap option to try out. It was intended to deliver audio and I'm sure it will be able to meet your power requirements. Mine is running from a blu ray to an older 5.1 surround system with excellent results. Hope that helps a little, sorry I didn't have a better answer.

Not for video. You could potentially use it to route just the sound, but I'm pretty sure their are cheaper/better switches for that purpose. What you want to find is a switch with the normal component cable inputs ( just red, white and yellow ports ) on the back.

Yes with a converter. The one I used is ViewHD Toslink Optical Audio Splitter 1x3 | One Input to Three Outputs | VHD-TS1X3. Input from Optical audio out from the TV and 1 output to my sound bar another to a DBTech Digital to Analog Audio Converter with Digital Optical Toslink and S/PDIF Coaxial Inputs and Analog RCA and AUX 3.5mm (Headphone) Outputs hooked up to the base unit. Much better sound than from the headphone output from the TV. Doing it with the splitter means it is always set up, if you have 2 optical outputs on your TV you don't need a splitter.

In order for my setup to work correctly I have to use both the HDMI and the optical out on my Apple TV. My receiver is a 2001 Integra DTR6.2 which was made before HDMI existed so I run my HDMI into this switch and out to the TV. I then run the optical output from each device into this optical switch - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003C15798/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This works for me. I'm not sure if I answered your question. However one thing that I can tell you is tht this switch will not separate the audio from the video, which is why I needed the seperate optical switch.

Hi! I use this switch as a audio input for cass. pc. tv, dvd, vcr and turntable. the audio out goes to my powered speaker system. But just one at a time you can use. I do use a splitter cable at times to double up. These splitter cables are very cheap. If ya need more help let me know.

If the controller for the computer surround has a toslink input, then yes you can use this.

This is a digital toslink cable. Both device interfaces must be digital toslink in order for it to work

I sure don't think so. I have my fiber optic (toslink) inputs going into it and one coming out to my Oppo blu ray player since it has only one toslink input. You may want an RCA switchbox. I have one of those that has three RCA pairs of input jacks and one output pair, but should work in reverse because it's just a mechanical connection with no electronics. Of course, you'd only be able to choose from one of the three at any given time. It only cost about $10 and is Radio Shack brand and so far isn't noisy and works fine.

This is a toslink cable, if your Aux interface is not digital toslink type, it will not work.

If I understand your question correctly, the answer is yes. Toslink output switches along with input selection. It does not output audio from all sources simultaneously. Hope this helps!

no you can't. I bought it myself for this exact purpose...it is only an audio out port.

Yes, set the switches in on the back as the manual states. I use DTS through the Toslink and it works fine.

You can use either RCA, Coaxial or TOSLink Digital cables (Cables Not Included). "Converts coaxial or toslink digital audio signals to analog L/R audio and connects to an external device such as an amplifier via standard RCA jacks." Hope this helps.

Dear Frank, Thanks so much for your inquiry. The Sony STRDH750 has Toslink inputs for computer audio, or any other device that you may own that offers a Toslink/Optical audio output! Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

Hello Lobsterinthesun. I purchased one of these and it does what it needs to do. It will convert a digital audio output into an analog signal. I needed this to convert the digital output from a TV to an analog input to a PS3 unit. It will take either a Toslink digital output or a coaxil digital output and convert it to an analog output. All you would need to do is to take a set of RCA cables from the output of this unit and plug it into your receiver.
