Optical Connection

[Amarjit]

Is there something available for me to convert an optical input on my DVD player to an optical output?

Many thanks
Amarjit

You have and input on a player?

What's it for? :lol:

[Amarjit]

Sorry, I should have been more specific: it's an all-in-one.

[Virtualbody1234]

That's really specific.

An all-in-one what?

[Amarjit]

You know, one of those all-in-one surround sound systems - with a combined amplifier and DVD-V player.

Why so secretive? Even after asking you twice what you are talking about, you still haven't given is a model number or anything.

What is this? A test or something?

How is it possible to use your ps2 on a dvd player ?

you can';t the idea is that the optics cable will provide stunning suround sound for games... the PS2 has such an output, and so hook that output into the input for your system'sinput...

The reason it has no optics out, is that IT is supposed to be the end destination for all sound sources...

No wait, look (10-117) and I think that might do the trick for converting an Optical Input to Output.

impossible.

doing something like this would require changing the fundamental design of the main board in you receiver/dvd combo.

if you're talking about connecting any optical cable, than this is for audio only. video is still sent in analog form via an s-video cable or a yellow composite/rca cable. (this varies outside the US)

that being said, if your receiver/dvd combo has optical(or coaxial) inputs than you can experience audio in true dolby digital pleasure from any source connected to it.

So connecting an optical cable from a TV with an Optical-IN to a DVD combo with an Optical-IN would work?

[harrycary]

the TV would require an optical out so you can feed the signal to the in of your DVD/combo.

dude i will have to change terminoligy so this makes sense...

ok input=male connecter
output=female connecter...
OK in this perfect world there is no homosexuals or lesbians now...

your All-In-one has a Male connecter
Your _______ devise that puts out audio like a PS2 has a female connecter... your tv has a male connecter.. this WILL NOT WORK MALE + MALE = HOMO = NO WORK

it would work if you had this set up... say your comp has this female optics connecter and the all-in-one has a the Male one... now, that would work boy+girl=straight...

DO YOU COMPREHEND WHAT I AM SAYING???


sorry for being so harsh... it just seems that you won't accept the simple truth... it won't work... so i had to blast it into you so that you would believe it... :)

[Amarjit]

Thanks guys - I've cinched the concept now. ;)
