Review on ESynic 3-In-1 Optical Audio Switch With Remote Control And 6Ft Cable For PS3, Xbox, Blue-Ray, And HDTV by Chris Crawford

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If you need to consolidate 3-Optical-IN to 1-Optical Out - GET ONE. it works Great!

If you need to consolidate 3-Optical-IN to 1-Optical Out - This works Great!My older Receiver only has two Optical Inputs, but I have 4 optical cables I needed to connect, so found myself plugging and unplugging at the back of the receiver each time i needed to use a different input, just a pain!Bought two other Digital Optical Switches, both failed badly, and was getting a bit discouraged, but figured I would keep trying until I found one that worked.The ESYNIC 3 Port Toslink connected up quickly, and on the first try - Boom. worked flawlessly! Was so happy to find one that finally did exactly what it says it does.Comes with everything you need, an Optical Cable to use as the connection between the switch and receiver, a remote that works perfectly to be able to switch without getting up to push a button on the 'switch unit'. The remote is an IR, so needs to be "in line of sight" but considering how small the unit is, its not an issue, even has an On / Off button on the remote. (some of the others you have to turn off by either unplugging the switch or a on/off switch on the actual unit, so once this one is installed, all can be done from the comfort of the couch.I had read through tons of reviews trying to find someone who was having the same issue (and need) as me, to help make it easier to find a unit to do exactly what I needed it to do, so hopefully this review will help those that need exactly the same thing!My only thought is, I don't know why i waited so long!, For the $20 bucks, its a Bargain!

Pros
  • Comes with a 6ft cable for added convenience
Cons
  • Not user-friendly for all ages
