Out of Coaxial in ports in a/v receiver

[edjamesx]

Guys,
My A/v reciever has only one Coaxial digital in port.
Where as i need to use the two devices ..My settop box and my PC.

Unfortunately my PC and settopbox have only coaxial digital outs. So I couldn't use my tossilink ports(optical ports) even though my reciever has 3 ports.

I will be using one device most of the time. Currently I have two coaxial cables and I am removing and connecting every time to switch TV/PC..its irrittating.

Will there be any "Y" kind of cable available so that i can connect both devices?. Is it safe if accidently switch on both devices ?

Or Coaxial Switcher would be better?.

Are there any Coaxial to Tossilink(Optical) converter availabe here (chennai) in less price?.

i can see something of this sort available on ebay, a little expensive though. check in the local market if you find something similar
Coaxial to Optical

'Y' cable not recommended, please use splitter or coax - toslink convertor.

This could work: RCA switch. I'm not entirely sure it will, but at Rs120 its worth a try! Make sure you plug input and output in the same colour pin.

The standard RCA cable can carry both analog audio signals and digital spdif (coaxial). Since you already have the switch, it might be a good idea to try it out and see if it works?
