Main AV stack

Equipment:

• 1x 7.1 Home Theater Receiver (TBD, likely Marantz SR-6006 (link))
• 3x MC-66 Multi-Zone Controller (link)
• 3x 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.
