Fitzchivalry Unregistered guest | Hi all, I am considering purchasing a sony DAVSC6 ( http://www.sony.com.au/support/product/product.jsp?selectedProd=DAVSC6&categoryI d=21635 ) for using as primarily a speaker system to power my PC, PS2, and maybe in future Ipod or other device via AUX. As far as I can see the only line in connectivity this system provides is 1x optical digital in and Audio Line In x 2 (which im assuming is analog?) So what I need to know is there any workaround based double adapters or convertors available in order to establish a second digital in connection to the system? My pc has an optical connection, coaxial connection as well as 3 8 cannel IO jacks so I could use any of these. The optical connection in the system will be used by the PS2, 1x audio line in will be used by the ipod/portable device, which leaves me with 1 digital connection needed for the HTPC Hopefully there is some way I can do this without have to unplug the optical connection every time I want to change between pc/PS2 and if there is an adaptor solution hopefully it can allow both inputs to coexist without having to manually change a selector switch or similar. Thanks for any info |

Fitzchivalry Unregistered guest | cheers for the link. However - switch :/ Trying to avoid that if possible Here's the problem: the model is available at cost price online. The model has been discontinued, so there's no way for me to phyisically inspect it. The model is a dream theatre which is supposedly the premire class sony is offering The specs are Interfaces Component Out: Rear x 1 S-Video Out: Rear x 1 Audio Line In: Rear x 2 Audio Line Out: Rear x 1 Optical Digital In: Rear x 1 Video In: Rear x 2 Video Out: Rear x 1 Headphone Jack: Yes Given that it is a relatively new (only discontinued around june last year) and middle class system, would [b]Audio Line In: Rear x 2 [/b] be full analog surround jacks (ie 2x lr 2x front & back, centre and sub) http://www.ramelectronics.net/assets/images/av-connect/ana-sur.jpg <- like that. or would they be simple rca left/right anaolg jacks? What's everyone opinion? |
