AV Equipment
Home Theater Area
Sony Bravia
Does not work with 10.04 LMCE in 1080p. Leaves 1" blank space on left side of screen. TV handled fine by stock 10.04 (full view area). Sent xorg.conf to developers for evaluation.
Tuner
- Cisco Explorer 8642HD PVR (Rogers TV)
Speakers
- 7 + 1 speakers
- Center speaker
- R/L speakers
- R/L surround speakers
- R/L back speakers

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.

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.
