Hi All,
I am currently designing my home audio and video distribution system and am confused about a few things. First here is what I will have:
Nuvo Grand Concerto 8 zones, Family room being one of the zones
In-ceiling speakers in all 8 zones, including the family room
Avatrix 6x7 matrix switch
Several Sources such as U-Verse Cable, WD TV Live, Sonos S5 (as a source), Blu-Ray Changer, Xbox 360
All of it will be in one central closet and will be tied into the HAI OmniPro II for automation and control.
Now, here is what I am confused about:
I would like to set up a 5.1 Surround Sound setup in the family room. I am thinking of getting an Onkyo 607 receiver. I was thinking of using the 2 in-ceiling speakers in the family room as the rear speakers in 5.1. Essentially, if Nuvo is playing, the sound is coming through in-ceiling speakers. However, if we turn the TV on, the sound will be from 5.1 system.
How should the wiring be run in this case? AvAtrix to TV to Onkyo to 5.1 (with Nuvo feeding the in-ceiling???)
Am I making it too complicated? What would you suggest?
Also, how would you suggest feeding the Nuvo from other sources such as Blu Ray Changer? Connect it directly to Nuvo, or through AvAtrix? Or Run Audio to Nuvo and Video to Avatrix?
Thanks in advance for any insights
