Abstract
The invention provides an apparatus and a method allowing N optical information reproducing devices to share an audio processing device. The apparatus includes a first connecting apparatus and (N−1) second connecting apparatuses. The first connecting apparatus corresponding to one optical information reproducing device is used to connect the corresponding optical information reproducing device to the audio processing device. Each second connecting apparatus corresponding to one optical information reproducing device is used to couple the corresponding optical information reproducing device to the first connecting apparatus. The N optical information reproducing devices are able to share the audio processing device using the apparatus of the invention without changing the hardware connection design of the audio processing device and the optical information reproducing device.
