Hello, I have a sound bar that has only one red/white input. My tv doesn't have an red/white output, just an optical one. I currently just have my satellite box hooked up to the sound bar, but I would like have my gaming systems hooked up too. What are my options to do this?

    Any RCA to RCA switch box will work. You should be able to find one at any store that carries electronics.

    This will let you connect multiple sources to the switch box, and then run just the one pair of cables to the soundbar. Then you'll be able to switch between the sources with the switch box.

    Shouldn't be too expensive...I picked one up at Best Buy a couple years back...it was only like $15-16 IIRC.
