From what I know, the optical input/output receptacles on audio/video products for most brands are similar, so I would think that standardized parts for fashioning such a beastie would be available. I am not familiar with the techniques involved in cutting/splicing fiber optic cables, but if anyone could enlighten me, I would be grateful. Thanks in advance. -- T.S.Reddy e-mail: reddy@mips.com
