can i hook up coax and optical digital audio at the same time??
I want to be able to hook up one dvd player via coax digital connection for audio and a second dvd player via optical digital audio...it would use the same dvd/ld option on my reciever...can this be done?? i mean when one player is on and the other off will the reciever send the audio signal to the player that is on and everything will output perfectly fine? i am not sure if this can be done. if someone knows what in the hell i am talking about i would so appreciate a right or wrong on my part. thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure this sort of thing would be covered in the owner's manual of your equipment. Every DVD player and receiver is different. Do you want to make both connections to the same input? Different inputs?

You're right! I didn't remember about that happening the last time I tried it because it hasn't happened to me yet in this current time continuum.

it will be to the same DVD/LD input option on the reciever, but obviously two dif connections (1 coax, 1 optical: each component would be off at the time the other is on). i dont have the 2nd player yet and this is integral in my decision and thus wondering prior.

It depends on the receiver, but with both of the receivers I have owned (Sony and Onkyo), you could only assign one digital input at a time to a given input.
