It takes a little bit of effort to just push the optical cable in all the way then its locked in. Some reviewers say it doesnt work. Thats probably because they didnt lock the optical cables in place. I have my HD DVD player and my PS3 connected at the same time and it works perfectly (as long as only one ... Read More
Rating: - Doesn't Work I've tried this product and it simply doesn't work, the audio would not go through the device.Purchased a powered unit that works excellent wouldn't recommend purchasing this item.
