Is there anywhere i can find for a splitter for the orange coaxial hookup on my stereo? I only have one hookup and i want to hookup both my cable box and my cd player with it.
yeah I'm pretty positive you can't splice coax signals. You could get a switch box and change from one to the other
http://www.avtoolbox.com/routingpage.shtml third from the bottom. it is a composite video switcher, but would work for digital coax as well, as its just a straght through RCA connection
the video one or the audio one? if its just a straight through rca one wouldnt i just be able to use any rca switcher?
yeah thats why I would recommend just getting the one with a single RCA connector, meant for composite switching. That should work just fine.
would it be capable of handling the throughput of the orange coax? Because a composite rca cable cant handle the same amount of info as an orange coax.
unless I'm missing something here, orange coax is just digital audio, right? because digital audio coax comes in various colors. the throughput should be plently, there's not much voltage at all traveling through
ok,uhh but if the red and white audio is less quality and i'm putting it through the same cord wouldnt it not be enough throughput for the orange coaxial?
no because the signal is much different. the two red and white ones are two analog signals. the single digital coax format (known as S/PDIF) uses an analog to digital converter to sample those analog singals into a digital format which can be sent over one two pin cable. It will work just fine
