Hey guys can anyone recommen a good AV sytem with 2 optical inputs, I want to use one for my LCD or my PVR as normal and one for my xbox 360, having additional inputs for PC would be a bonus?

Try calling the Sony shop in the Clarks Village (outlet mall) in Street, somerset - they had some really good deals there recently.

If you are unable to find one, you may want to consider something like this.

Good luck

The new Panasonic SC HT 855 has one optical and one HDMI if that fits your system. Getting great reviews on AV Forums.

Hey Guys cheers for the heads up, will opt for the switching box i think, seems odd that in these modern times with so many devices using an spdif or optical out that there are so few av receivers with multiple optical inputs doesnt it?

'Tis annoying isn't it? I have two switchboxes daisychained and still don't have everything attached to my amp!

Anyone know of any switchboxes with:
3 Co-ax
2 Optical
and an additional combination of
2 optical or coax
and one optical output?
