Can i use it for switching audio between my Samsung Smart tv Toslink Digital audio out and Philips HTS3450 audio in

I don't see why you couldn't. I used mine for nearly the same thing, sending multiple device outputs to my Toshiba Plasma TV Toslink input.

It switches both audio and video at the same time, so yes you could use it for just audio switching...

We are using it from the TV to soundbar. I would think it would if both have digital audio inputs.

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

I use this for my pc to 2 different tvs. It looks great i play blurays on my pc. I dont think this is what you want tho. Its not a switch its a splitter. There is nothing to switch inputs

Yes you can. , whatever input you select, this device splits it into a separate audio and video signal. Audio can be linked soundbar through your digital audio port using a toslink audio cable.

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.

Unless you want your audio to go to a source other than your TV... like a 5.1 stereo setup. And in that case, you'll probably want to use the digital optical or digital coaxial audio output over RCA cables (unless your stereo doesn't support that).

Technically Yes. These are very simple switches. So if on your first one you link this to a sound system, you can use one of its 3 import slots for the second device. As long as you remember to switch everything it'll be fine, a little clunky, but fine. All of the ports on these things are digital optical so you can really have whatever configuration you want. The only limitation is that there is one "out" port and 3 "in" ports on each device, you can't channel a signal from in port to in port. You may only send from in 1-3 to the out port.

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.

This is compatible with any device with a separate audio output. In the case of optical cables, I would suggest using separate optical cables rather than switching back and forth every time you decide to switch systems. Especially since optical cables are sensitive to dirt and wear and tear.

If the output is stereo and the devices have a 3.5mm input and output port for sound then it should work. Mashmal stated the standard red and white stereo sound from a composite cable. While I do not disagree that if you have composite and not 3.5mm cables for the sound (which is likely in most home television setups) that a composite switch would work better, but I do disagree that you convert it to 3.5mm unless you just have to. Conversion can degrade sound quality. Also, if your conversion method is not the best quality you might see some bad results as well.

I am using this devise with a Soundbar that my TV and DVD feed into. You flip the little switch between the two. It works.

For Audio Out you can use two types of connections 1) Analog audio out using a 3.5 mm connector and 2) Digital (Optical) using a Toslink connector

Yes, that ought to work. Onkyo envisions you using this box as your main "switch" between components (in other words, no need for the TV remote to switch between inputs). For me, that means running component video connections into the receiver and then out through the TV. Too many cables! Maybe when I get Blu-Ray...

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.

Nope..this works real good for switching between speakers and headsets but not for 2 computers

It would depend on the audio output port options of your specific TV. The audio input of the speaker system is a standard AUX cable. If your TV does not have any audio output to match, it would still be possible given the right converter (not included, but not too expensive on amazon).
