out of inputs

[dpdsny]

The optical input on my home theater system is being used by my DVD player but I still want to run my PS2 with a optical cable. does any one make something so that I can plug a DVD player and my PS2 inputs in (sound and video) and have just 1 output go to the home theater. something like the old A/B switch but with Optical ports. what i need is 2 optical and 2 s-video inputs to 1 optical and 1 s-video output.
thanks for any help
Dan

WOW!!! I never knew anyone made one of these. I need one years back with my old Kenwood receiver. Nice.

Digital Coax

Does your receiver have a digital coax connection for audio? If one of your sources has this connection you could use it to allow both devices to be connected to the receiver.

I have part 180-964 that I can sell you for real cheap if you want it.

its on the right track to what I need... but I need something with video also. This is what im looking to do...I want to hook up my PS2 and a DVD player all to the some input on my home theater and just be able to switch back and forth with out having to change the plugs like I do now. Right now I have the DVD player hooked up with S-video and optical,that is plugged in to the DVD input on the home theater. when I want to play PS2(this too is running with S-video and optical) I have unhook the DVD hookup and plug in the PS2. it gets to be a real pain in the ***.

You can get a really nice Pelican system switcher for under $100. It lets you connect 7 different consoles, with three or four digital inputs and component video, and includes a wireless remote. I have one myself.

NOTE: I bought mine at Best Buy, and I've seen them at several gaming shops. I don't know anything about the company I linked to- it's just for basic info on the switcher.

YES. thank you that is just what im looking for.
