Can a Digital Optical Audio Cable and a Digital Audio Coax Cable (ie. 2 devices) both be plugged in and working without needing some sort of switch?

I am unsure if that will work or not. I have used the optical cable aqnd have been very pleased.

Yes I believe it can. I have mine set up as such where the optical cable is plugged directly into the televesion. Then I have other devices pluged into the HDMI ports of the television. This might require adjusting settings on the tv depending on make and model. Otherwise there are ports on the sounds bar for optical, digital, and analog. Thus for multiple devices plugged in to these ports, one just needs to click to the other input on te sound bar. Hope that helps.

Yes, except you can't use analog coax (red & yellow) for audio. Only digital coax is supported.

Make sure both devices are off when connecting the Optical cable. When inserting the cable, it needs to snap or pop to make sure it fully seated. Turn on the 2 devices. You might want to set on an analog channel and make sure the volume is turned down before switching to d In 1.

The sound system does not require optical cable setup. RCA (red/white) cables will work just as well.

If your surround sound system has an Optical or Coaxial Digital Sound input, the answer is yes . . . . .

I'm 99.999% sure you can use one or the other, but do not need both HDMI AND an optical cable.

No there isn't anything you can do for the coax out, however you might find an RCA-1/8" inch female adapter to use with audio portion of the video/s-video/composite out (the red and white plugs are audio)

I don't have an optical source on my television. I was using the coaxile cable and the other cables supplied with the unit.

Plug both into the 'digital' bank of outlets. If there is actually any difference between the outlets it hasn't been noticeable to me either way but technically speaking, use the digital outlets for those devices.

If you are trying to switch a Toslink digital optical cable input, this will work. I use mine to switch between an older DVD player and my Dish network receiver.

If you are asking if the splitter requires AC power (i.e. amplified) the answer is no. If you are asking if it will pass AC or DC through on the COAX, I don't think so.

I am not sure, but if you couldnt just plug both ports, it probably means it isnt possible, since there is a single "on" switch...

No, but you can get one for it. You can get this on Amazon. SANOXY Digital Optical Coax to Analog RCA Audio Converter Adapter, AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable, 6 Feet, works great! Just copy and paste the info. onto Amazon and you'll see it, it works great, and Levi you should do some research before saying it's doubtful.

that was my experience; somewhere in the literature in fact says that if you use HDMI or Digital Optical cable, that you have to use the audio cable out as well (defeats the purpose of the HDMI or Digital Optical cable IMO), however it works well with that set-up

This should certainly work. Just match the colors of the audio-in, that is stereo - (white and red rca in) with the audio-out and you can then switch between the sources

Yes you can. This is an adapter to do just that. Hook up orange coax in one side and optical in the other. Then plug in to power. Works great!

nope -- but you can get an adapter from monoprice.com for about twelve dollars -- search for Optical "Toslink to Coaxial (RCA) Digital Audio Converter", product id no 2948Hope this helps
