Looking for input on a multi-room / zone situation..
I'm looking at X4500H or X4700H to run main living room and then 2 other zones with Denon app to control all... unless I can come up with something to utilize my existing X3500H.
Current setup
Living room / Main TV/movie watching (simple due to acoutiscs of the room) (Zone 1)
Use Cases
- (Daily) Living room TV with tv audio only, no soundbar needed (w/ HDMI passthru AVR enabled, Patio and Pool off (no need for AVR usage so HDMI in pass-through mode (most of the time this will be the normal usage)
-------------------------
- (Movies) Living room TV with soundbar (HDMI input to TV, fiber audio out from TV into soundbar) - patio & pool speakers off (movies)
------------------------
- Living room TV with TV audio, no soundbar & send video to backyard tv, send audio to patio and pool speakers (sports, etc)
- Living room TV with soundbar / send video to backyard tv, send audio to patio and pool speakers (sports, etc)
-------------------------
- Living room off - Streaming music to patio and pool speakers (Pandora, media server, etc)
-------------------------
- Living room off - Play video on Patio TV and patio and pool speakers (sports, movie, etc)
- Living room off - Play video on Patio TV and patio speakers (sports, movie, etc)
- Living room off - Play video on Patio TV and pool speakers (sports, movie, etc)
-------------------------
- Living room off - Play video on Patio TV and stream music patio and pool speakers
- Living room off - Play video on Patio TV and stream music patio speakers
- Living room off - Play video on Patio TV and stream music pool speakers
Looking for ideas based on the details above.... @Trouble Maker has started me thinking of some options..
