right so for example i have

xonar > z5500 so toslink to connect together

but I also want

sony 32w4000 > z5500

is it possible to do without switching whats plugged into z5500 everytime you want to listen to pc sound then tv sound?

hope you understand

o and btw these are the connections of the tv

or would the tv actually go

optical out > toslink cable > xonar optical in then > xonar optical out > toslink cable > optical in z5500

therefore not needing a splitter type device untill i add a dvd player/console

not sure if this is a long way about way or not

look forward to advice

thanks
