A friend of mine told me to come here with this question as he did not know himself. I am going to be buying a PS3 in the near future and I want to have the full 5.1 surround with my ps3 and my xbox360. Now the dilemma I have is I only have one Optical input on my receiver. I know there is a converter type thing that will allow me to plug in my optical cable coming out from my ps3 into one end...and out the other end is a coax output. I was wondering if there is a kind of splitter type thing that i could use to hook up both my 360 and ps3 to the same input? And i guess my second question would be would I be better off just buying the Optical - Coax converter rather than having the two in the same input? If this kind of thing has been posted somewhere before please leave me the link. Much appreciated! :-)
