AV Equipment
Home Theater Area
Sony Bravia
Tweaked to the Sony Bravia 1080p settings. Under (Main Menu, Settings, Picture & Display, Screen) you can change the Auto Wide to off, Auto Display Area OFF, Dsiplay Area Normal, and then adjust the Screen Position until it makes sense for the AV Wizard.
Tuner
- Cisco Explorer 8642HD PVR (Rogers TV)
Speakers
- 7 + 1 speakers
- Center speaker
- R/L speakers
- R/L surround speakers
- R/L back speakers
- Powered subwoofer
Home Audio Zones
18 zone house layout for central audio. Zones have 1-4 speakers (dual channel for single speakers) and all wiring is home-run to the main networking closet. The AV stack is situated next to the networking and speaker wire runs.
| # of Zones | Region |
|---|---|
| 3 | Bedrooms |
| 4 | Bathrooms |
| 3 | Kitchen/Living/Dining |
| 1 | Laundry |
| 2 | Dressing |
| 1 | Den/Office |
| 1 | Patio |
| 1 | Deck |
| 1 | Basement |
| 1 | Garage |
| 18 | Total |
Main AV stack
Equipment:
- 1x 7.1 Home Theater Receiver (TBD, likely Marantz SR-6006 (link))
- 3x HTD MC-66 Multi-Zone Controller (link)
- 3 USB-Serial PL-2303 for connectivity
- 3x HTD DMA-1240 High Efficiency Multi-Channel Amplifier (link)
Current Issues
Currently figuring out how best to control the AV stack with LinuxMCE.
RS-232 interface to MC-66
Will need to write a GSD interface for the MC-66 if not already supported.
