Abstract:
1. A method of sharing an audio processing device between two optical information reproducing devices comprising the steps of: coupling one of the two optical information reproducing devices to the audio processing device via a first bus; coupling the other one of the two optical information reproducing devices to the first bus by a second bus; wherein each of the first bus and the second bus respectively comprises a first signal line, a second signal line, a first ground line and a second ground line; and respectively providing a serially-connected resistor over the first signal line and the second signal line of each of the first bus and the second bus; wherein the coupling step of the second bus to the first bus is performed by respectively coupling the first signal line, the second signal line, the first ground line, and the second ground line of the second bus to the first signal line, the second signal line, the first ground line, and the second ground line of the first bus.
