You would need a switch!
Any switch would work as long as it was break-before-make type.
A splitter would be inappropriate.
I would consider giving the SPDIF over to the cable, if it can be proven to work, and hooking the DVD up the old fashioned way, but try the switch first :-)
Sounds like a job for Radio Shack...

Try www.audioauthority.com or www.copperbox.com or smarthome.com They will have your splitter. My Bose had the same problem...
